Train connectivity to Imphal
With the completion of the Bairabi–Sairang rail project, train services have recently begun from Aizawl (Sairang). Similarly, once the 110.625 km-long Jiribam–Imphal new line project is completed, Imphal will also be connected to the rail network.
During his visit to Manipur on September 13, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Imphal will soon be connected to the national rail network. “Rail connectivity in Manipur has been expanding during our government’s tenure. The Jiribam–Imphal railway line will soon connect the capital city, Imphal, to the national rail network. The government is investing 22,000 crore rupees in this project,” PM Modi said, after laying foundation stone of various development works at Manipur’s Churachandpur.
