This is one of the ambitious projects of the Central government.

The construction of Rs 1,132 crore road connecting India's Mizoram with Myanmar is in progress.

It is a cross-border road that is part of the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMTTP).

The 26-km road project will link south Mizoram's Lawngtlai district with Myanmar's Sittwe port.

The project aims to establish a cargo transportation route from Kolkata port to the North Eastern states.

Cargo loaded at Kolkata port will be shipped to Sitwe port & then transported inland via the Kaladan River to the border with Mizoram & then it will continue by road to Mizoram.

This will connect Mizoram with Nagaland, Manipur in the north-east region and with the Myanmar international boundary.

The 373-km road project between Aizawl and Tuipang in the southern part of the state would be completed by June next year.
