Chidambaram to visit Tawang today

GUWAHATI - Union Home Minister P Chidambaram will visit Tawang on the Sino-Indian border to review the development projects along the frontier areas today.

During his day-long visit, Chidambaram will inaugurate a rope-way and the new Deputy Commissioner’s office.

According to sources, Chidambaram, who arrived Guwahati last night, will take stock of the development projects with local officials.

Chidambaram’s Arunachal Pradesh visit in less than a fortnight of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s tour is being seen as India’s strong assertion of sovereignty in the Tawang region. (ANI)
