- 15 years after it was approved, the waterway component of the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport project is set to become operational this month, with the first commercial cargo movement starting from Kolkata to Sittwe port in Myanmar. The project is aimed at boosting trade and commerce between India and Myanmar and ease access to other South Asian countries.

It's going to be a good boost for Indian economy
Thank you for the information. It is a good initiative. Might increase the connectivity to the north east as well
A great boost to North East and Indian economy. Thanks to Modi government for bringing all these long held, conceived projects to closure after 70 years of independence.
Nehruji struck a deal in secret with Myanmar on February 30th 1950. He is the reason today that waterway will be a reality today. Nehruji was a visionary. He knew poor peasants in India would need that waterway to bath, to cook and to travel. Rahulji has tasted this water during his Bharat jodo yatra and has confirmed this waterway is suitable for everything except for drinking. This waterway should be named after Nehruji. And the tip of the waterway should be named after Rahulji with a giant cut out of him smiling at the visitors for positive energy.
😂
And also all the vessels pass through it must be named after all congress scams.
😂😂😂😂

Why don't you use pip? The narrator can be on a small corner screen.
A good sign.
nicely explained
👍
Print is covering topics well-🙏
Welcome change
Build a cargo rail route from Kolkata to Agartala via Dhaka, give Bangladesh a transit fee. Simple.
already under progres under the Agartala-Bangladesh-Kolkata railway route
But cant be used to transport troops or defence equipment, Bangladesh does not want to take sides between india and China.
Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why can't India buy/ lease a stretch of land, connecting Kolkata to Agartala cutting across Bangladesh. This seems to be more feasible to me than so much loading, unloading of goods at different ports.
It’s not just about transport of goods from Central India to eastern part of India through Myanmar. It is also about counterbalancing China’s increased presence in East . It would provide to be a fruitful route to Indian Army to directly connect to Eastern States of India in case of war with China . We can’t be dependent on just Siliguri ! But your point is also good . I hope they thought about it too !
It's about diversifying the options. Not just depending on 1 country for connectivity to whole NorthEast.
Because Bangladeshis aren't stupid enough unlike you to give away land to India, splitting the country in half
You think Bangladesh will agree? I don't think there is even a remote possibility.
@@desibigfoot3874 we'll give them world class infra, 8 lane Access controlled Expressway. All costs to be borne by Indians.
But while exitting the Expressway just how we have toll booths, we should have immigration counters in Bangladesh.
Make it a dual use expressway.
ThePrint please consider removing hateful comments jeopardising relations with neighbourhoods.
Its high time we build an international expressway all the way to thailand under BIMSTEC intiative. Potential for tourism would be immense+ could see a potential extension to malaysia or vietnam. A road or rail project is a must.
They will drain our money
@@neetootripathi3018 That attitude is why, China exerts more influence than us. They've built railways in Cambodia and Laos plus a HSR in Indonesia.
myanmar has ongoing geopolitical issues currently. building an expressway is not enough as a lot of other things need to fall in place to ensure a safe and beneficial trade . its dificult to trade through areas where armed conflicts can occur at anytime leading to potential losses . infact an international highway already exists known as AH 1 .rail project would be the best bet currently under the TARN once the manipur line till moreh gets completed. china can build such projects all across the globe because they have several billion dollars in their reserves.
India should have annexed Chatthogram into India during 1971. We lack strategic thought sometimes.
That's bcs of Indian education systems failure which creates unintelligent govt clerks called bureaucrats. 🤣
As if you could peewee, stop your BS. You couldn't then and you can't now.
How good is the road from Aizawl to Zorinpuri?
Zorinpui to Lawngtlai is a newly constructed Two lane highway...whixh is in a Good condition.
Lawngtlai to Aizawl is NH54...which is being upgraded(widening/straightening etc)...which will be awesome after completion😊
Upgradation of existing NH 54 is underway.
@@richardralte7007 i had been to Aizawl in 2012.
Roads were awful.
But i guess with Gadkari at the helm n act east policy.. things are getting better.
This will boost the economy...Hope all goes well with this project....India has done it's part....now if only Myanmar does the same....
What Will India 🇮🇳 Import From Kaladan Port ?
It will be good if Chicken's neck is relieved of it's pressure
😂🤣😅
Commercial viability of this project must be taken care of. Cargoes returning from sittwe might not yield in big profits
What will you do to china
Syllet & chittagon hill trax should be annex..
In your dreams perhaps
@@tazbeedsharafuddin1316 Then do exchange policy take murshidabad return Chittagong & sylhet.
@@surojeetchatterjee You seem to have forgotten that Sylhet and Chittagong are places with huge muslim majority, more than your Murshidabad. Your extremist Hindu leaders and citizens ( which seems to be increasing) surely won't be happy to see such a spike in Muslim population. If anything, Bangladesh doesn't need to give anything but it would be better for India's Northeast economically if they joined Bangladesh instead of India.
@@surojeetchatterjee And in order to return something, the thing needs to belong to you in the first place. Sylhet and Chittagong never belonged to India as Republic of India itself didn't exist before 1947.
@@tazbeedsharafuddin1316 Lungideshi madrassa illiterate talking random gibberish as usual. Murshidabad was exchanged with chittagong & khulna in 1947. It looks like another Gopal Pantha dose of 1946 needs to be given to Rajakars again.
Netaji Shubhash Chandra Bose good journey INA Mayanmar Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Vietnam Cham Combodia Thai land all along with Bharat Generation where now may be converted or murder or shift remove shift through
Great works by modi
Lungideshis blackmailing India opportunity gone forever. 🤣 Baap Baap e hoy, Kolkata holo Dhakar asol Baap.
Kolkata is a irretrievably a bottleneck. Dump it.
Im sorry if I sound rude, but i really enjoy the pieces that The Print does, they are extremely good. This host should not be in front of the camera, she's terrible for God's sakes.
The front bench lectures were more fun in school. Sadly , i never got the opportunity as a backbencher.
You aren't only rude but disgusting.
That is rude. Why dont you listen to what she has to say instead of commenting unnecessarily
Let capture Chittagong of Bangladesh & connect North East directly with Bay of Bengal....
very stupid comment
if you are not a
b-o-t
delete that coment
