India has strengthened its border areas to secure the disputed territory of Arunachal Pradesh, over which China has claims.

Manmohan Singh, prime minister, used an annual internal security address on Tuesday to highlight his administration’s success in stabilising the north-east.

...

“Substantial funds have been given to Arunachal Pradesh, particularly for development of border areas, porter and mule tracks and administrative centres in remote areas.”

The military has ... formed a battalion of local, high-altitude-trained troops, upgraded 14 air strips and accelerated modernisation of roads.

...

The moves come as India’s security establishment views China as a growing threat in the region.

China inflicted a humiliating defeat on India in a high-altitude border war in 1962.

The article just states wht they have done to beef up their border security. Mule tracks would not deter chinese invasion, but mule tracks have been better developed so in case of chinese invasion, Indian military personal can move more effectively.

Mules are the best transportation (other than helicopters, of course) in mountainous terrain.

So in a high altitude war, it's really about who has the best mules?

So roads classified as 'mule tracks' aren't actually intended for use by mules?
