The Central government has recently sanctioned Bhalukpong-Tenga-Tawang rail line involving the construction of 21 bridges, 29 km long tunnel between Dirang and Tawang in a stretch of 145-km at an estimated investment of Rs.40,000 crore. It is estimated that the entire railway route, when completed, will cut down the existing road distance of 285 km to 166 km, said official sources. The survey of Pasighat-Tezu-Parashuram Kund-Rupai line is expected to be completed early as the area is plain land with no high steep mountains to cut through. The Railway officials also gave presentation on the status of the 26-km Murkongselek-Pasighat rail line for which the land portion required to be acquired, has been identified and the process of acquisition is currently in full swing. Apart from the rail project in question, seven new railway lines are also being planned including Itakhola to Seijosa (18 km), Doomdooma-Namsai-Wakro (96 km), Dangri-Roing (60 km) Naharkatia-Deomali (20 km), Lekhapani-Nampong-New Khamlang-Deben (75 km), and Tinsukia to Pasighat via Kanubari (300 km), north Lakhimpur-Bame-Aalo-Silapathar (247.85 km), claimed sources, adding that the cost of these rail-lines would be available after the on-going surveys are completed.
