The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has successfully conducted its first-ever trial run to Sairang, near Aizawl in Mizoram, making it the fourth northeastern state with capital rail connectivity. The 51.38 km Bhairabi-Sairang New Line Railway Project encompasses 44 tunnels, 55 major bridges, and 87 minor bridges, with the tallest bridge standing at 104 meters.
The project also includes 5 Road over Bridges & 6 Road under Bridges. This new line project is divided into four sections: Bhairabi – Hortoki, Hortoki – Kawnpui, Kawnpui – Mualkhang and Mualkhang – Sairang.
The Bhairabi-Sairang railway line is expected to be formally inaugurated after June 17, after a scheduled inspection by the Commissioner of Railway Safety in early June.
