While inaugurating Mizoram's first national railway line, Bairabi-Sairang line through live video conferencing, PM Modi blamed Congress for ignoring Northeast.
Bairabi-Sairang rail line, inaugurated by Modi, has finally put Aizawl on the national railway grid. It’s expected to boost local economy, benefit students, patients & businesspersons.
A train line, used by nearly 50,000 people, has been halted possibly for weeks between the cities of Den Bosch and Eindhoven. The travellers are being shifted to buses or a different route.
Mooted by Army in 2010-11, the plan is to connect key border areas including that in Arunachal, Manipur & Sikkim through railways. Bhalukpong-Tawang line is of particular importance.

Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
