Highway boost for N-E states but does not include Manipur
The Telegraph | Umanand Jaiswal | Guwahati, March 29:
The Centre has given its nod to the upgrade of three state highways into national highways in the Northeast that will shorten tortuous routes and pave the road for development of vast tracts of backward and hilly areas.
While the Dhubri-Phulbari national highway will have huge socio-economic implications for Assam and Meghalaya, the Naharkatia-Khonsa highway will impact Arunachal Pradesh, besides Assam.
The Lawngtlai-Kaladan Road will help boost the transport network in Mizoram. This project, which will ensure an investment of around Rs 4,600 crore, will give the Northeast an additional 600-km of national highways and better access to the region’s remote areas, those associated with the road sector here said today.
