50 Kilometres, Countless Beneficiaries: Mizoram’s Railway Lifeline Completes One Year of Success

The Bairabi-Sairang railway line in Mizoram marked one year of operation since its inauguration on September 13, 2025. Spanning 51.38 kilometres through challenging hill terrain, the engineering project comprises 153 bridges and 45 tunnels, bringing rail connectivity to the threshold of Aizawl through stations like Hortoki, Kawnpui, Mualkhang, and Sairang. Over the past year, the line has facilitated over 15 lakh passengers across multiple train services, including direct routes to Guwahati, Kolkata, Delhi, and Silchar. Additionally, freight services have transported construction materials, automobiles, and essential commodities, reducing logistics costs and boosting tourism, education, and local enterprise mobility in Mizoram.
