Mizoram part of work on bilateral transit project almost done: PWD deptMizoram has completed over 96 per cent of its share of work on the ambitious Kaladan MultiModal Transit Transport Project — a route that aims to connect northeast India with Kolkata through the Sittwe Port of Myanmar — an official release by the state Public Works Department said.

The transit project, spanning 882.21 km, was launched in April, 2008 by the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government as part of the ‘Look East’ (now Act East) policy.
The route, which was initially scheduled to be completed by 2014, will bring the NE region closer to Kolkata by half the existing distance. Of the 87.51 km stretch of the project to be constructed within Mizoram, 84.19 km has been completed so far.
