Mizoram's Urgent Plea for Highway Rescues

The BJP's Mizoram unit has called on the central government to expedite repairs on NH-306 and NH-6, vital lifelines to the state, which have suffered extensive monsoon damage. A proposal for an additional highway route was also submitted, highlighting the region's urgent infrastructure needs.

The Mizoram unit of the BJP has petitioned the central government to hasten repair efforts on the severely damaged NH-306 and NH-6. These highways serve as critical links between Mizoram and the rest of India through Silchar, Assam.

State BJP president K Beichhua personally approached Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari to convey the grave conditions affecting Mizoram's primary transport routes. Beichhua also presented a proposal to create a new highway connecting Tripura, Mamit, Lunglei, and Zochachhuah.

While Gadkari assured his attention to the matter, repair work on NH-6's Sairang-Kawnpui segment continues under the supervision of NHIDCL and the state PWD. Meanwhile, Mizoram is facing shortages of fuel and essentials due to ongoing restrictions on vehicular movement.
