The KGP and KMP expressways were conceived together. But while the eastern highway was recently opened, its western twin, beset by an over 10-year delay, is set to miss another deadline.

Initial talks held on the possibility of India entering the programme that was started in 2017 between France, Germany and Spain to ensure European sovereignty in defence and security.
