India has already started its work to construct a bridge at Indo-Burma
border to felicitate the trade between Mizoram State of India and Chin
State of Burma. The Bridge is to cross the Tio River, which borders Zo
Khuttha village in Mizoram and Rih village in Chin State. The agreement
to build the bridge was signed by both authorities last month in Mizoram
State.
According to the agreement signed on 25th April, India will provide all
the financial, skills and material assistance to construct the bridge.
The Chief Minister of Mizoram Mr. Zoramthanga said foundation for the
bridge was laid recently and the construction works are going on.
India has also agreed to build a motor road connecting the Indian border
to Tittim -Kalaymyo in Sagaing Division in Burma. The
Haimual-Tittim-Kalaymyo road is estimated 120-km long.
India had already built the 165-km long Tamu-Kalaymyo-Kalewa road in
Sagaing Division of Burma at the cost of Rupees 100 crores. The road,
built for three years, connects northern Burma with India's national
highway 39, which terminates at Moreh in Manipur State of India.
India and Burma are currently operating its border trade mainly through
Tamu-Moreh route. However, the two countries are making efforts to open
additional trade routes and one of them is Rih-Zo Khuttha. Moreover,
another northeastern state of India, Nagaland, had also identified four
trade centers on international border to boost two-way trade with Burma.
