 As India’s sunrise states of the Northeast wake up to the dawn of rail connectivity, the newly laid Bairabi-Sairang Rail Line prepares to fold Aizawl into the Railways’ network. The line extends from Bairabi, which previously served as a railhead near the Assam-Mizoram border, to Sairang, a town just 18 kms from the state capital, Aizawl.

This 51-km new line winds its way through the lush Lushai (Mizo) Hills, traversing deep valleys, steep hills, and dense bamboo forests. The 45-tunnel, 55 – major bridges line, which boasts the second tallest pier bridge in the country (taller than the QutubMinar of height 114 meters), now links Capital of Mizoram, the land of whispering winds, to the national railway grid.
