India-Myanmar rail project yet to be sanctioned
Assam Tribune | New Delhi, July 29
The ambitious rail project to connect Imphal with neighbouring Myanmar has not been sanctioned yet, Minister of State for Railways Rajen Gohain has said.
In a reply to a Rajya Sabha question by Assam Congress MP Ranee Narah, Gohain on Friday said the portion from Imphal to Moreh is in India and the portion from Tamu to Kalay is in Myanmar. The project is yet to be sanctioned, he added.
A reconnaissance engineering-cum-traffic survey for a new broad gauge (BG) line from Imphal to Moreh covering a length of 111.25 km was completed in 2014-15. As per the survey, cost of the project was assessed to be Rs 5,428.46 crore. However, the estimated cost of Moreh-Tamu-Kalay BG rail link will be available once the survey is done, he said.
