New Delhi, Feb 26 (IANS): Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu Thursday said Meghalaya has joined the railway network and Arunachal Pradesh has been linked with the national capital.
"We are committed to provide rail connectivity to northeastern states and Meghalaya has been finally brought on the railways' map," the minister said in his budget speech in the Lok Sabha.
"Arunachal Pradesh has been finally connected to Delhi," he said.
In 2014, the central government flagged off the first passenger train service in Meghalaya connecting Mendipathar in the state with Guwahati in Assam.
A project to convert the Bhairabi-Sairang track in Mizoram into broad gauge was also initiated.
