Construct TAH on existing route: ASU

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITAGAR, Jul 23: Expressing shock at notification issued by Ministry of Defence through Gazette of India on March 31 2011, where in it prohibited the construction of Trans Aruchal Highway (TAH) near Advance Landing Ground (ALG), the Apatani Students’ Union (ASU) has appealed to the authority to let the TAH to pass through existing road.

The defence ministry had objected the construction of TAH near ALG and refused to issue no objection certificate, a release stated. Since ALG Ziro doesn’t have a civilian termil, there is no question of shifting the existing road, ASU stated.  The union further questioned if the TAH of Aalo and Pasighat can run parallel to respective ALG, why ALG Ziro is objected.
