Union Minister Calls to Expedite Rs 500-Crore Aizawl Bypass Project Completion
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar has directed officials and contractors to accelerate the Rs 500-crore Aizawl bypass project, aiming for completion by January 2028. The 45-km western bypass will connect Sihhmui in Sairang with Muallungthu, easing traffic in Aizawl and improving access to key locations including Lengpui Airport and Zoram Medical College. Officials proposed adding tourism infrastructure and an approach road funded by the state government to enhance connectivity and safety. The project began in January 2026 under the PM-DeVINE scheme.
