Railway Projects: Major Thrust in the 12th Plan
•
•
•
7 National Projects will be completed during the 12th 5 Year Plan
This will Enable Up-gradation of Rail Network in Major parts of North East
 North Bank of Brahmaputra Upgraded to BG
 Main Arterial Route in form of Lumding – Silchar upgraded to BG which will
provide Trunk Route for Capital Connectivity
To Achieve the Above, apart from Funds, Land and Other Issues Require Resolution
with help of State Governments
 Progress in Tetelia – Byrnihat and Byrnihat–Shillong affected due to nonavailability of land and Khasi students’ agitation (Meghalaya)
 Land Issue between Revenue and Forest in Jiribam – Imphal Project (Manipur)
 Land acquisition in Sivok – Rangpo (Assam & Sikkim) and Land acquisition in
Agartala – Sabroom (Tripura)
• Road Stretches that Need Urgent Attention in View of Mega Block: NH-54 is a bad
shape and will take atleast March 2016 to complete. Beyond Halflong, NH-54 is in
bad shape up to next 40 Km up to Harangajao (NHAI). NH-44 between KarimganjChuraibari,
(40
Km
)
and
between
Sonapur-Badarpur
