● Intial Pink Book Cost :- Rs 850.00 Crs.

● ROR :- (-) 26.44%
● Sanctioned as National Project vide RB L/No 95/W-1/LCT/NF/1 dated 16.05.2007.
● BACK GROUND OF PROJECT :-
This project was sanctioned through supplementary demands of grants for the year 2006-07. It was declared a National Project vide
Board's letter No. 95/W-I/LCT/NF/1 dated 16.05.2007. Alignment was to take off from Dimapur and final location survey was taken up
accordingly. But Nagaland Government asked for the revision in the alignment vide letter No. TPT/RAIL-9/97(PT) dated 15.01.2010 citing
the problems of reserve forest & zoological park, very high compensation demanded by farmers & connectivity to the Ganeshnagar
industrial area. Finally, the take off for the project was decided from the Dhansiri station, a station in Karbi District of Assam, at about 19
Km short of Dimapur & the same was approved vide Nagaland Government letter No. TPT/IST/RAIL/2011 dated 02.02.2012. Frequent
law and order issues often hamper the progress adversely as there is separatist movement by NSCN(IM) and other groups. Working
period in Nagaland is only 4-5 months in a year due to prolong rainy season.
● Present Status:- Total detail estimate for Rs. 2326.52 (Pt. I, II, III) has been sanctioned.

Detailed Estimate of Rs. 2309 Cr. was sanctined on 26.08.2015 by Railway Board. Against which Revised Estimate amounting to Rs.

6. Issues of Concern

(1) Land cost deposited to State Govt in March 20 but 59.30 Hectare of land yet to be handed over to Railway.
(2) Frequent problem of issue of Inner Line Permit by State Government to Labours/supervisors/Engineers. Mandatory provision of 14
days quarantine [even Rapid Antigen Test (Corona) is negative] to all outsiders for containment of Pandemic Covid-19 has further
created the problem and negative environment has been created inform of terror among labour, supervisor and engineers.
(3) Non Availability of Construction Material in Mizoram State. Frequent Assam-Mizoram State land boundary dispute & frequent ban on
Forest produce in adjoining State Assam; badly affect the project progress.
(4) Termination of 12 contracts of a single contractor for his failure.

(5) Available working seasons is only 4 to 5 months in Mizoram state due to prolong rainy seasons. Therefore, there is requirement of all
assistance from State Govt. to utilise dry working spell for completion of project in target time.

6. Issues of Concern

National Green Tribunal (NGT)/East Zone, Kolkata ordered to stop doubling works in km 163 to km168 (5km) in between Azara and
Kamakhya stations, which is the last block section of the project. The existing line and proposed double line in this stretch pass through
Deepor Beel and falls partly in Elephant corridor, where instances of dashing with elephants have taken place in past. Though no Forest
Land acquisition is involved, (NGT) has ordered and directed to stop doubling works since Jan-2018 till the mitigation measures to avoid
collision with elephants are done. Mitigation measures suggested by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun is diversion of the
existing line and double line from km 163 to km 172 on Northern periphery of Deepor Beel through viaduct for freeing the elephant
corridor. It involves additional works costing Rs. 1040 Crs. This additional works is not in the scope of sanctioned doubling works.
Railway has submitted in the Affidavit to bear this additional cost by MoEF as per extant instructions issued by Rly Board and land
required in new alignment to be provided free of cost by state govt. in lieu of surrender of Railway land along existing alignment through
Deepor Beel. The case is pending with NGT/East Zone/Kolkata under hearing. Since the alignment is changing from km 163 to km 172
from the existing alignment, it tantamount material modification in the estimate and require sanction of Railway Board once the
alignment and funding issue is decided by NGT.

Initial Pink Book Cost :- Rs. 3062.00.
Meeting was held by AM/Works with CE/Con/9, CPDE & CTPM, NFR on 06.08.2019. It was discussed to drop the work as it is not
found of land. Feasible due to non-availability presence of large nos of ROB and level crossings in 10 Km long length. Alignment
passing through thickly populated part of Guwahati City. Land not available to lay to additional two lines. Even elevated
construction is feasible only after closure of existing train operation for long period.
Instead it is planned to study two separate bye pass lines to Guwahati from North side as well as South side to ease congestion at
Guwahati.
6. Issues of Concern

Meetings were held with PHODs of open line and constructions for discussions of the various options for Quadrupling, site
constraints, methodology for execution of works under running traffic. Due to site constraints in congested city area and requirement
for blocking of existing tracks, the proposal for quadrupling is dropped.

Meeting was also held on 06-08-2019 by AM/Works with NFR where CE/Con/9, CPDE & CTPM had attended the meeting. They
agreed with the proposal and suggested to carry out the FLS of two separate bye pass line for Guwahati under the variations of
same FLS work.

It is planned to study two separate bye pass lines to Guwahati from North side as well as South side to ease congestion at
Guwahati.
