Centre to construct first multi-modal railroad corridor in Northeast

The government plans to build a strategically important integrated multimodal rail and road transport corridor in the northeast, the first in the country.

Under the project, two road tube tunnels and one rail tube tunnel will be built under the Brahmaputra River.

In addition, a rail-road infrastructure is being constructed for the missing rail-road connections, including several new rail lines, a train station, a loop line and a station yard. With the help of this mega railway transport corridor, logistic ammunition, military vehicles and armed forces can reach the Chinese border of Tawang, Northern Assam and Arunachal Pradesh more quickly.
