TAWANG, Nov 8: Foundation stone of Northeast Frontier Railway camp office cum rest house was laid today by its General Manager(Construction) NK Prasad here in presence of  EAC(LM&Jud) Tawang Choiki Dondup, Chief Administrative Officer(Construction) MS Chauhan, Chief Engineer(Construction) SP Singh and executive members of Shartso Committee (land owners).
Prasad, while speaking about the technicalities said that the railway line from Bhalukpong to Tawang will be 198 kilometres, out of which 177 kilometres will be under tunnels with very little disturbance to ecology, adding that the proposed railway tunnel crossing Dzela pass will be 27 kilometres which will be one of the longest tunnel in the country. This will reduce distance significantly, since the road distance from Tawang to Bhalukpong is around 300 kilometres, informed other senior railway officers.
EAC(LM&Jud) expressed hope that the dream of connecting Tawang with railways is going to be achieved in reality and besides congratulating the railways officers, also expressed his gratitude to the land owners for leasing out the land, initially for a period of three years for the purpose of construction of the camp office which can extended or acquired if needed in future.
