Imphal/Noney/Khongsang (Manipur), May 24 (ANI): Rapid development is underway for Manipur’s overall growth, with Indian Railways playing a key role. Despite challenging terrain, work is progressing quickly on the 111-kilometer Jiribam–Imphal railway line. The project includes multiple tunnels, bridges, and stations.The world’s tallest railway pier bridge is nearly complete — a remarkable engineering feat. Out of the 52 planned tunnels, 59 kilometers of tunneling work has been completed so far, out of a total of 61.32 kilometers. Railway bridge construction in Manipur is moving at a fast pace. Of the 11 major bridges, 5 are complete, while 81 out of 138 minor bridges are ready. Progress is also steady on station development — 6 out of 11 new stations are finished, with Khongsang station in Noney already operational Meanwhile, work on the Northeast’s longest railway tunnel — the nearly 10-kilometer-long Sangaihel Tunnel—is advancing rapidly. Two parallel tunnels are being constructed: one for regular train movement and the other dedicated to emergency rescue and evacuation, ensuring safety and speed in critical situations. Enhanced rail connectivity is set to benefit both local residents and those visiting Manipur for work or tourism, making travel easier and more efficient. As the railway project takes shape, Manipur will not only become better connected with the rest of the country, but its economy will also gain fresh momentum.
