โ™ฆ๏ธKaladan project

โœ… The Kaladan project connects SITTWE PORT in Myanmar to the India-Myanmar border.

โœ… The project was jointly initiated by India and Myanmar to create a multi-modal platform for cargo shipments from the eastern ports to Myanmar and to the North-eastern parts of the country through Myanmar.

โœ… Significance: It is expected to open up sea routes and promote economic development in the North-eastern states, and also add value to the economic, commercial and strategic ties between India and Myanmar.

โœ… This project will reduce distance from Kolkata to Sittwe by approximately 1328 km and will reduce the need to transport good through the narrow Siliguri corridor, also known as Chickenโ€™s Neck.

โœ… Sittwe is the capital of Rakhine State (which has been in the news for the plight of Rohingya Muslims) in south-western Myanmar. It is located at the mouth of the KALADAN RIVER, which flows into Mizoram in north-eastern India.
