About 120 km southeast of Imphal, on the India-Myanmar border, the first steps are being taken towards giving shape to the Indian part of a grand Asian dream — to have a trans-Asian highway, a network of modern roads running through more than 30 countries that will eventually connect the whole of Asia to Europe.
The small border town of Moreh in Manipur would then become India’s gateway to southeast Asia, letting people drive freely into Myanmar and then onwards into Thailand, to as far as Singapore.
Though the existing road running to Moreh from Assam, the National Highway 39 that will become part of the Asian highway, is in extremely dilapidated state and needs a major upgradation, work has begun on creating the border infrastructure that would be necessary to support such a road network.
One of the first tasks is to build a modern entry and exit point, with airport-like facilities that will facilitate the easy movement of people and vehicles across international borders.
