Sairang railway link gets CRS nod, Mizoram enters India’s rail map

Aizawl, June 10 (UNI) In a landmark development for Mizoram’s connectivity, the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) has formally authorised the opening of the newly completed broad gauge railway line between Hortoki and Sairang, marking the successful completion of the 51.38 km Bairabi–Sairang New Line Railway Project. With this, the state capital Aizawl is now directly connected to the national railway network for the first time in history.
Chief Public Relations Officer of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, said the CRS authorisation was granted following a detailed inspection conducted from June 6 to 10 by Sumeet Singhal, CRS of the Northeast Frontier Circle. “This milestone fulfils a long-cherished dream of the people of Mizoram to see trains reach the capital and will bring transformative socio-economic benefits to the state,” Sharma stated.
The final stretch from Hortoki to Sairang, spanning 33.864 km, had been the last remaining leg of the project after the Bairabi–Hortoki section was commissioned in July last year. The route traverses difficult hilly terrain and features extensive engineering works including 32 tunnels and 35 major bridges.
