Govt plans to connect NorthEast States to Delhi by long distance trains
Union minister of state for Railways Suresh Channabasappa Angadi said that all the eight states of the Northeast will be connected to Delhi by long distance trains.
The union minister said this while visiting the Bogibeel bridge on his way to Itanagar to attend a programme.
The Union minister stated that the Railway ministry was committed to finish all pending railway projects of the North East by 2022.
The Bogibeel bridge is the fourth bridge over the Brahmaputra and connects Dibrugarh and Dhemaji districts.
On December 25, 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the 4.94-km long Asia’s second longest rail-cum-road bridge.
