On Monday, Shah said the era when anyone could encroach on India's borderlands has passed and now, not even land equal to 'sui ki noke' (inch of land) can be encroached upon.

He launched a Vibrant Village Programme for the all-round development of border areas here on Monday.

The chief minister told PTI that they discussed various issues related to the development of Arunachal Pradesh.

Later, the home minister paid tributes at the Walong War Memorial.

"The tales of their supreme sacrifice for the motherland will forever resound in India's history and remain inspiring generations to come, to live a life dedicated to the nation. Paid tributes to the brave heroes of the 1962 War at the Walong War Memorial in Arunachal Pradesh,” he tweeted.
