Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday while addressing party workers of Uttarakhand through a virtual rally said that border road built in the Lipulekh region lies well within in the Indian Territory. He added that the ties between both the countries are bound by roti-beti and that no power in the world can break it. He said that differences between the 2 countries would be sorted out through dialogue.
The road starting from Ghatiabagarh, ends at Lipulekh pass, the gateway to Kailash-Mansarovar. The road is set to reduce the pilgrimage time to a week. The new road makes this route the shortest and the least expensive way to reach Mount Kailash, a sacred pilgrimage spot for the Hindus.
