MISSING LINKS IN TAR
In India - Missing Link is
Jiribam - Imphal – Moreh-Tamu (Myanmar)
- Jiribam to Imphal new railway line (110 km) work is in
progress .
- Railway has undertaken RECT survey for new BG line from Imphal to
More (111 km). Anticipated cost is Rs 5378 crore.
On Myanmar side -Missing Link is
- Tamu to Kale (135 km). Governments of India & Myanmar have
agreed to co-Operate for preparation of a DPR for establishing the
missing link.
- Further action after approval of MEA.
HINDRANCES
2. Poor road connectivity to work sites.
3 Hilly terrain , no approach road to work sites.
4. Longer monsoon periods, heavy rainfall. Working season limited to only 4-5 months.
5. Weak geology, frequent land slides, unstable hills.
6. Militancy, frequent kidnapping, threatening and demand for ransom.
1. Delay in acquisition of land
