Railway Projects: Major Thrust in the 12th Plan

• 7 National Projects will be completed during the 12th 5 Year Plan

• This will Enable Up-gradation of Rail Network in Major parts of North East

North Bank of Brahmaputra Upgraded to BG

Main Arterial Route in form of Lumding – Silchar upgraded to BG which will provide Trunk Route for Capital Connectivity

• To Achieve the Above, apart from Funds, Land and Other Issues Require Resolution with help of State Governments

Progress in Tetelia – Byrnihat and Byrnihat–Shillong affected due to non-availability of land and Khasi students’ agitation (Meghalaya)

Land Issue between Revenue and Forest in Jiribam – Imphal Project (Manipur)

Land acquisition in Sivok – Rangpo (Assam & Sikkim) and Land acquisition in Agartala – Sabroom (Tripura)

• Road Stretches that Need Urgent Attention in View of Mega Block: NH-54 is a bad shape and will take atleast March 2016 to complete. Beyond Halflong, NH-54 is in bad shape up to next 40 Km up to Harangajao (NHAI). NH-44 between Karimganj-Churaibari, (40 Km ) and between Sonapur-Badarpur (BRO).

Airports Development (2012-17) - I

• Development of Airports at

Pakyong – New TDC: Dec. 2014. Need resolution of land acquisition for AAI Colony, shifting of 16 local residences and approach road from Pakyong to Gangtok

Itanagar – State Govt. to provide land acquisition (1,037 acres), Rehabilitation, Compound Wall, Approach Road, Electricity/Water supply. PIL challenging site before Guwahati High Court

Cheithu – Alternative site needs to be selected by State Government

• Modernize selected Airports by AAI

Guwahati– Construction of 3 hangars for A-321. TDC – Sep. 2014

Dibrugarh – Runway extension (32 acres land acquisition)

Jorhat - Apron extension completed (30 Nov. 2013). New Terminal Building planned

Shillong – Upgradation at Barapani taken up. 32 acres defence land required. Work stopped (August 2012) due to local agitation

Imphal : Notified international airport (14 Nov. 2013) with connectivity to South/East Asian countries. Extension of Apron & Boundary Wall Work going on

Agartala – New Terminal building in planning stage

37

Airports Development - II • Airports in Arunachal Pradesh & Meghalaya (Non-operational)

Operationalize Along, Daparizo, Passighat, Tezu, Ziro (Arunachal Pradesh)

Daparijo (Arunachal Pradesh to sort out Land Acquisition Issues)

Greenfield Airport in Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) – to be finalized after NOC from MoD

Tura (Meghalaya) land acquisition issues.

• Average no. of departures per week from NE Airports increased sharply.

2001 2011 2012

226 581 497

• Larger and more regular air connectivity to NER, specifically within the region necessary.

Guwahati being developed as a regional hub (Sept. 2014). Will help improve connectivity

Intra-regional network in NE is weak and needs to be developed. NEC has invited bids (with VGF support) with little success so far

Need to approve recommendations of Committee under Member (NE), PC on issues relating to air connectivity by Alliance Air. Shillong-Kolkata services resumed since 10 Jul. 2013, may be discontinued again by Alliance Air

38

Roads East West Corridor (NHAI)



Critical issues:

Land availability. Likely to be resolved by State Govt.

• Guwahati–Nalbari (14 km) (Assam)

• Maibong–Harangajao (16 km) (Assam)

Road Sector Issues

• Need for special focus on:

Work on connecting Sikkim (NH-31A, Sivok-Gangtok-Nathula by BRO) has progressed at a slow pace. New TDC March 2016

Work on NH-44 has been stalled for quite some time. Need for fast pace after the re-distribution & being taken up by State PWD

Work on NH-53 (Jiribam-Imphal) critical. Needs early completion

Silchar Bridge being replaced with support from M/o DONER. Need for early completion of project

Dhola Sadiya Bridge (river Brahmaputra) targeted for completion in 2015. Work going on well

Road to Vijaynagar from Miao needs early sanction

Construction of Bridge over Feni river (Tripura) connecting Bangladesh taken up with MEA support. Work should start early

Replacement of all semi-permanent timber bridges in the region. Special focus and be funded by State Govts., along with Central assistance under SPA over next 3 years. A special scheme needs to be launched to complete this

Pakyong – New TDC: Dec. 2014. Need resolution of land acquisition for AAI Colony, shifting of 16 local residences and approach road from Pakyong to Gangtok

Itanagar – State Govt. to provide land acquisition (1,037 acres), Rehabilitation, Compound Wall, Approach Road, Electricity/Water supply. PIL challenging site before Guwahati High Court

Cheithu – Alternative site needs to be selected by State Government

• Modernize selected Airports by AAI

Guwahati– Construction of 3 hangars for A-321. TDC – Sep. 2014

Dibrugarh – Runway extension (32 acres land acquisition)

Jorhat - Apron extension completed (30 Nov. 2013). New Terminal Building planned

Shillong – Upgradation at Barapani taken up. 32 acres defence land required. Work stopped (August 2012) due to local agitation

Imphal : Notified international airport (14 Nov. 2013) with connectivity to South/East Asian countries. Extension of Apron & Boundary Wall Work going on

Agartala – New Terminal building in planning stage

50

Airports Development - II • Airports in Arunachal Pradesh & Meghalaya (Non-operational)

Operationalize Along, Daparizo, Passighat, Tezu, Ziro (Arunachal Pradesh)

Daparijo (Arunachal Pradesh to sort out Land Acquisition Issues)

Greenfield Airport in Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) – to be finalized after NOC from MoD

Tura (Meghalaya) land acquisition issues.

• Average no. of departures per week from NE Airports increased sharply.

2001 2011 2012

226 581 497

• Larger and more regular air connectivity to NER, specifically within the region necessary.

Guwahati being developed as a regional hub (Sept. 2014). Will help improve connectivity

Intra-regional network in NE is weak and needs to be developed. NEC has invited bids (with VGF support) with little success so far

Need to approve recommendations of Committee under Member (NE), PC on issues relating to air connectivity by Alliance Air. Shillong-Kolkata services resumed since 10 Jul. 2013, may be discontinued again by Alliance Air

51

Inland Water Transport in the NE Region

• 891 Km National Waterway-2 on River Brahmaputra along with Indo-Bangladesh Protocol Route provides safe, cheap and eco–friendly route for carriage of commodities

Navigability of 2.0-2.5 meter depth along with navigation aids and ten floating terminals maintained by IWAI

16 Floating terminals for passengers funded by MoS will be commissioned by March 2014. 4 already operational

• Inland Water Port at Pandu developed with high level and low level jetties, two warehouses, Railway siding and open storage: Land for Connecting Road needs resolution with NFR/Govt. of Assam

• IWAI is developing:

Ro-Ro facility at Dhubri and Hatsingimari (opposite bank of Brahmaputra)

to reduce travel time of vehicles between Meghalaya and Dhubri in Assam

which now have to go over Jogighopa bridge covering a distance of 220 km

Vessel repair facility at Pandu (Guwahati). Assam Govt. to expedite transfer
