The Committee headed by Shri Brahm Dutt, Secretary, Road Transport & Highways in its meeting held here today cleared the proposal for construction of a new highway of 100 km length from Lawngtalai in Mizoram to Myanmar border. The estimated cost of the highway is Rs 650 crore. The highway would provide linkage to the proposed port facilities at Sittwe in Myanmar. The port facilities in the Bay of Bengal at Sittwe will provide water route to the whole of North East through the State of Mizoram.
