ALL ABOARD




ALL ABOARD


India has jumped aboard the Trans-Asian Railway bandwagon by ratifying the UNESCAP- supported inter-governmental Agreement.


Indian Railways will build the 315km link between Jiribam in India and Moreh in Myanmar.


Myanmar will pitch in with some of the RS 1,100 Cr that will be required.


The 81,000 km long Trans Asian railway is a link between 32 Asian Countries from Russia to Singapore and Indonesia and Turkey and Iran to Korea.


With the new link expected to be complete by 2015, the dream of an uninterrupted rail journey from Indonesia to Turkey and onward to Europe will be a reality.
