Welcoming the journalists from Kerala to the beautiful and serene state of Mizoram, the Governor extended his warm wishes for an enjoyable and memorable stay. Highlighting the ongoing developmental initiatives in the state, he described the recently inaugurated 51.38-km Bairabi-Sairang New Railway Line as a game-changer for Mizoram. He pointed out that the railway would significantly boost tourism, ease transportation, reduce the cost of goods, and lower logistics expenses by providing a more accessible and efficient connectivity option. The Governor further informed the team that the railway line is planned to be integrated with the ambitious Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP) and expressed confidence that the remaining stretch of over 200 km would also be completed smoothly and on schedule.

He assured the team that both the Central and State Governments are actively implementing key development projects and expressed optimism that Mizoram would witness even greater developmental momentum in the years ahead.
