The Bairabi-Sairang railway line is set to put Mizoram on India's railway map with an expected commissioning by July next year. According to officials, about 93 per cent of the 51.38-km line is complete. This information was shared with Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati during a review meeting with the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR).
The line includes four stations: Hortoki, Kawnpui, Mualkhang and Sairang. Officials informed the governor that the section up to Hortoki will be commissioned within the next few days following a successful trial run on the Bairabi-Hortoki section. Services to the Mualkhang station are also expected to start in the coming months. The final stretch to Sairang, near the state capital Aizawl, will be ready by July next year.
