Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project is nearing completion with Mizoram: Governor

Mizoram governor Hari Babu Kambhampati said that the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP), which aims to connect North East India with Kolkata through the Sittwe Port of Myanmar via the Bay of Bengal, is almost nearing completion within the Mizoram side.

Kambhampati said while interacting at the 51st conference of Governors, Lt Governors and Administrators at Rashtrapati Bhavan said, “When completed, the KMMTTP will provide valuable alternate route and considerably cut down the distance between the North East and mainland India, which is currently connected only via the narrow Siliguri Corridor in West Bengal, also known as the 'Chicken’s Neck'”.

He added, “Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Nation if special attention is given to the KMMTTP.


In spite of the pandemic, the Public Works Department completed several works of formation cutting (405km), black topping (47.3km) and construction of cement concrete pavements (90km).

With funds from World Bank, Asian Development Bank and NABARD, construction & repair works are being carried out on 82 roads across the state”.
