Indian Rail steps forward to get closer to Sino Indian border


After decades long wait, finally Indian Himalayan state Sikkim is getting into Indian railway network. In addition to fulfilling aspiration of local people, the link will facilitate faster military movement towards Sino Indian border that the Himalayan state hosts.

After going through a long list of official clearances from state as well as centre, the project has also received NOC from Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) making the project clear for field work. GTA is a semi-autonomous administrative body for the Darjeeling and Kalimpong hills region in West Bengal.

Though officially for Sikkim, the estimated Rs 6,000 crore worth broad gauge track will have only 1 km stretch within the state leaving rest 51.7 km in the hilly Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts of Bengal. Eventually, NOC from GTA was needed.

“We have given our NOC after Railway agreed to fulfill our demands including stations in Bengal segment,” said GTA Chairman Binoy Tamang after his recent meeting with Indian railway Top brasses. In reciprocation, North East Frontier Railway Chief Administrative Officer A. Prakash also committed to take best possible care of several public issues including no eviction demand of many forest villages along the alignment.

Happy with the development, Sikkim CM Pawan Chamling said, “It can bring in a sea change in the socio-economy of our state.”

But beside all these, the main importance of the track remains in defense front. It will make things easier for the Indian Army to deploy soldiers and firepower along Sino Indian border in the region. For this, at present army is almost entirely dependent on Sikkim’s single road link NH 10.

Going to be an engineering challenge, this 54 km long track through Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, turbulent river Teesta and Himalayan hills will have 37 major bridges and one underground station. Around 32 km of it will go through 13 tunnels of which the longest one will be of 1800 meters span.

Eventually, it is also in focus of many environmental activist groups. “The heavy construction will tremendously disturb the rich biodiversity and fragile geology of this hilly region,” they said.

What the f**k is going on, two of our jawans martyred and no paki casualties so far? What is Indian army doing? Few days ago also pakis killed one of our jawans and no paki dead till now this is frustrating:frusty:
How do you know that Pakis were not killed and how many? They never reveal their casualties. We get to know only through sig intercepts and HUMINT later.

This is why I say " We need plain clothes operatives blend in with civilian with glock17 at his belt. When tangos are trying to escape with civilian cover , sneak upto to them , pull out glock and drill soe lead on those motherfuckers and you see all civilians will be shitting in their pants on what the hell happen?

Om Shanti Rest in Peace brother

Is it confirmed that all the Terrorist escaped?
This is from CFV by Pak in various LoC areas in Poonch. The terrorist incident is different in which 2 terrorists escaped and one soldier martyred in Kulgam as well.
