India is collaborating with which one of the following neighbouring countries for the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Myanmar
The Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project is being built by India with Myanmar to link Kolkata with Mizoram through Myanmar. Goods go by sea from Kolkata to Sittwe port in Myanmar, by river boat up the Kaladan river to Paletwa, and then by road to the Mizoram border. It gives the North-East a route to the sea that avoids the narrow Siliguri Corridor, and is part of India’s Act East Policy.
