Highway to be built to link northeastern part of Mizoram with Manipur

Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga on Friday said that a highway would be constructed to link the northeastern part of the state with neighbouring Manipur.

Gracing a centenary celebration of Khawlian village in Saitual district, Zoramthanga said the Centre has sanctioned Rs 31 crore for the construction of the Khawlian-Daido-Vawngkawt road on the Mizoram-Manipur border.

The road when completed will link Khawlian and surrounding villages in the northeastern part of the state with Manipur’s Churachandpur district, he said.
