Dimapur-Zubza railway line project on track for 2029 completion
Indian Railways is building a new train line called the Dimapur–Zubza railway.
This line is 78.42 kilometers long and will go through parts of Assam and Nagaland in India.
The project is very important because it will connect Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, to the rest of India's train network for the first time.
The work is being done by the Northeast Frontier Railway and is expected to be finished by 2029.
This will make it easier for people to travel to and from Kohima by train.

The project is under the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) zone.
The railway line will pass through Karbi Anglong district in Assam and Chumukedima and Kohima districts in Nagaland.
