Train from Lhasa to a Tibetan city near Arunachal Pradesh to function from June
Kathmandu, March 7. A high speed train connecting Tibet and Nyingchi near Arunachal Pradesh will start functioning by June.
The construction of the 435km-long high-speed train passage in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) began in 2014. It is the first electrified railroad in Tibet as said in the annual ongoing parliament session in China.
China aims to connect with India through Tibet as the area seems less accessible to diplomats and foreign journalists.
Lu Dongfu, chairperson of China State Railway Group Company and a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC) said that China aims to extend the total length in operation (of high speed trains) to around 50,000km by 2025. He added that the railway network will cover 98% cities with population of over 500,000.
