Transit treaties between NE, neighbouring countries mooted
Assam Tribune | Kalyan Barooah | New Delhi, Aug 25
The Three Year Action Agenda unveiled by the Niti Aayog on Thursday has given top priority in ironing out the transit treaties and the development of physical infrastructure between the northeastern region (NER) and neighbouring countries.
A key project for international connectivity is the rail link from Imphal to Moreh and further from Moreh to Kalay (in Myanmar). This will link the NER to the Trans Asian Railway network. The cost estimate as per a survey done by the Indian Railways is Rs 5,500 crore for the Imphal-Moreh section, while that for the Moreh-Kalay is Rs 3,000 crore. The ministries of Railway and External Affairs should discuss and concretise further action on this project with the intention to commence construction by 2018, the Action Agenda said.
