| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In ten cities of North East India, a total of 523 projects costing ยน 13563 crores are undergoing development, out of which only 121 projects have seen completion (Singh 2022). The development of roads at the national level should be pushed at a quicker pace. While the SASEC road connectivity projects have focused on connectivity between North East India and its neighbours, the bilateral efforts of upgrading and modernising roads- National Highways, Asian Highways are definitely improving the conditions of connectivity in North East India. Better connectivity is crucial for better income and development for the people of North East India. Coordination with neighbouring countries to remove border restrictions, reduce trust deficit and facilitate for a smooth transport movement is essential for further development of NEI. |
