Arunachal Pradesh Rail Connectivity

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday instructed officials to expedite the construction of the new USD 47.8 billion railway project connecting the country's southwest Sichuan province to Linzhi in Tibet close to the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh, saying it would play a key role in safeguarding stability in the border areas.

Four critical railway lines that will connect the Chinese border to the Indian hinterland and allow quick troop movement face an uncertain future due to lack of funds. The case is now before Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), which is building rail infrastructure in the region, has targeted to connect all its eight state capitals by 2020, a senior official has said.
