The senior officials of India and Burma today inaugurated the 165-km
long Tamu-Kalaymyo-Kalewa road in Sagaing Division of Burma and named
the road as Indo-Myanmar Friendship Road.
The road, built by the Border Roads Organization of India at the cost of
around Rupees 100 crores for three years, connects northern Burma with
India's national highway 39, which terminates at Moreh in Manipur State
of India.
The road was inaugurated this afternoon jointly by Indian foreign
minister Jaswant Singh and Burmese Minister of Construction Major
General Saw Tun. Manipur Chief Minister Mr. Mr. Wahengbam Nipamacha,
ministers from other North Eastern states, senior officials from
Ministry of External Affairs of India attended the inaugural function.
In Tamu town, Lt. General Tin Oo, Secretary (2) of the ruling State
Peace and Development Council (SPDC) of Burma received Indian foreign
minister and his entourage. School children from Tamu High School, Tamu
Middle School, Tamu Primary School No. 2 and No. 5 presented music and
dance in receiving the visiting dignitaries.
Indian foreign minister handed over a vehicle's key to Burmese Deputy
Prime Minister Lt. General Tin Hla in Tamu as token of inaugurating the
new road. Tamu residents say that Burmese authorities have ordered local
bus services such as Za Wa Na Bus Service, Shan Taung Tan Bus Service,
Chin Taung Tan Bus Service and Shwe Pwint Phyu Bus Service to ply
between Tamu-Kalaymyo-Kalewa today as a part of the inaugural function.
With the inauguration of the new road, India and Burma will soon
introduce once-a-week bus service between Moreh (India) and Kalewa
(Burma).
During his three-day visit, Indian foreign minister is scheduled to
visit Mandalay and Rangoon and will meet Burmese leaders including
Senior General Than Shwe, head of the SPDC. Moreover, he will have
intensive parleys with his Burmese counterpart U Win Aung on bilateral
issues.
