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 non-availability 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 Karimganj-Churaibari, (40 Km ) and between Sonapur-Badarpur (BRO).

Road Sector Issues
• Need for special focus on:
Work on connecting Sikkim (NH-31A, Sivok-Gangtok-Nathula by BRO) has progressed at a slow pace. New TDC March 2016
Work on NH-44 has been stalled for quite some time. Need for fast pace after the re-distribution & being taken up by State PWD
Work on NH-53 (Jiribam-Imphal) critical. Needs early completion
Silchar Bridge being replaced with support from M/o DONER. Need for early completion of project
Dhola Sadiya Bridge (river Brahmaputra) targeted for completion in 2015. Work going on well
Road to Vijaynagar from Miao needs early sanction
Construction of Bridge over Feni river (Tripura) connecting Bangladesh taken up with MEA support. Work should start early
Replacement of all semi-permanent timber bridges in the region. Special focus and be funded by State Govts., along with Central assistance under SPA over next 3 years. A special scheme needs to be launched to complete this
