Mizoram Governor has called on the Indian Railway Construction Company (IRCON) to accelerate work on the Paletwa‑Zorinpui road linking the state with Myanmar.
In a recent statement, the Governor of Mizoram appealed to the Indian Railway Construction Company (IRCON) to speed up the ongoing Paletwa‑Zorinpui road project. The request underscores the state’s priority to enhance cross‑border connectivity with neighboring Myanmar.
The Paletwa‑Zorinpui road is a strategic link that will connect the town of Paletwa on the Myanmar side with the Zorinpui border point in Mizoram. Completion of the road is expected to facilitate trade, tourism, and local movement, aligning with broader regional integration goals.
IRCON, a central public sector undertaking, has been tasked with constructing the road under a government‑approved framework. The governor’s urging reflects concerns over project timelines and the potential economic benefits that a faster completion could deliver.
State officials anticipate that an accelerated schedule will not only boost commercial activity but also improve security and logistical coordination along the frontier. The governor’s call aims to ensure that the project proceeds without undue delays.
The administration has indicated that it will closely monitor progress and work with IRCON to address any bottlenecks, signaling a concerted effort to bring the infrastructure to fruition promptly.
