Know Why India's Longest Bridge 'Bogibeel' Can Trouble China| Exclusive | ABP News

The first passenger train passing through the Bogibeel bridge will be flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, marking the opening of the country's longest rail-cum-road bridge. The Tinsukia-Naharlagun Intercity Express will run five days a week. The 4.9-km bridge will cut down the train-travel time between Tinsukia in Assam to Naharlagun town of Arunachal Pradesh by more than 10 hours. "It will take five-and-a-half hours compared to the 15-20 hours it currently takes. Passengers had to change trains multiple times and take a long-winded route," Northeast Frontier Railway spokesperson Nripen Bhattacharya said. The 14-coach chair-car train will depart from Tinsukia in the afternoon. It will leave from Naharlagun the next morning, the spokesperson said. The Bogibeel bridge connects the south bank of the Brahmaputra river in Assam's Dibrugarh district with Silapathar in Dhemaji district, bordering Arunachal Pradesh. देश के सबसे लंबे रेल-सह-सड़क पुल के उद्घाटन को चिह्नित करते हुए, प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा मंगलवार को बोगीबिल पुल से गुजरने वाली पहली यात्री ट्रेन को हरी झंडी दिखाई जाएगी। तिनसुकिया-नाहरलागुन इंटरसिटी एक्सप्रेस सप्ताह में पांच दिन चलेगी। 4.9 किलोमीटर लंबा पुल असम में तिनसुकिया से अरुणाचल प्रदेश के नहरलागुन शहर के बीच ट्रेन-यात्रा के समय में 10 घंटे से अधिक की कटौती करेगा। पूर्वोत्तर सीमांत रेलवे के प्रवक्ता नृपेन भट्टाचार्य ने कहा, "वर्तमान में लगने वाले 15-20 घंटों की तुलना में इसमें साढ़े पांच घंटे का समय लगेगा। यात्रियों को कई बार ट्रेनों को बदलना पड़ता था और लंबे समय तक घुमावदार मार्ग पर चलना पड़ता था।" 14 कोच वाली चेयर-कार ट्रेन दोपहर में तिनसुकिया से रवाना होगी। प्रवक्ता ने कहा कि यह अगली सुबह नाहरलागुन से रवाना होगा। बोगीबिल पुल असम के डिब्रूगढ़ जिले में ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के दक्षिणी तट को धेमाजी जिले में सिलापाथर से जोड़ता है, जो अरुणाचल प्रदेश की सीमा में है। #bogibeelbridge #assam #china To Subscribe our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/abpnewstv Download ABP App for Android: http://bit.ly/2fRkOeI Download ABP App for Apple: https://apple.co/2CqPHiR About Channel: ABP News is a news hub which provides you with the comprehensive up-to-date news coverage from all over India and World.
