The meeting was attended national security advisor Shivshankar Menon, the three service chiefs — General Bikram Singh, Admiral DK Joshi and Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha — and defence secretary RK Mathur.
Sources said the "periodic security meeting", held a day after the 6th annual defence dialogue with China, reviewed the construction of road, rail and air links along the "northern borders". It came in the backdrop of the parliamentary standing committee on defence slamming the government for lagging far behind China in all areas of border connectivity.
From "nil achievement" on the 14 strategic railway lines to the completion of only 18 of the 73 all-weather roads identified for construction along the LAC, the committee had held, "It's shocking to note only one road out of the 27 ITBP roads is complete, and as many as 11 roads are behind schedule and not even detailed project reports have been finalized."
Rubbishing MoD claims that infrastructure development was being implemented in consonance with threat perceptions, the report said, "The committee is baffled to learn that an issue so serious as providing border connectivity through rail in the northeast region and other strategic places is taking the rounds of bureaucratic tables."
