Now Mizoram will be directly connected to Delhi
PM Modi inaugurated the Bairagi-Sairag railway line costing Rs 8070 crores. Although he could not go to address the public meeting due to bad weather, but he addressed the public meeting through digital medium and inaugurated the new railway line. Now Mizoram will be directly connected to the country’s capital Delhi for the first time. The construction of Mizoram railway line was very difficult because the railway line has been prepared in the hilly area in Mizoram where 45 tunnels have been constructed in complex geographical conditions, in which there are 55 big bridges and 88 small bridges.
