The Governor of Nagaland stressed that enhanced connectivity with Myanmar is vital for the economic growth of Meluri, a border town in the state.
Nagaland Governor reiterated the strategic importance of improving road and transport links with neighboring Myanmar to accelerate development in Meluri, a frontier town that lies on the India‑Myanmar border. He highlighted that smoother cross‑border movement can open new markets for local producers and attract investment in infrastructure.
The official noted that Meluri’s geographic position makes it a natural gateway for trade, tourism and cultural exchange between the two countries. Strengthening this corridor, he said, would not only raise living standards in the district but also contribute to the broader Northeast development agenda.
While no specific projects were announced, the Governor urged relevant ministries and state agencies to fast‑track feasibility studies and seek cooperation with Myanmar authorities to realize the connectivity goals.
Stakeholders in the region, including traders and community leaders, welcomed the remarks, viewing them as a positive signal for future economic opportunities.
The statement was made during a recent visit to the town, where the Governor met local officials and surveyed existing transport facilities.
