India and Bangladesh mutually decided to construct a bridge over Mizoram's Khawthlangtuipui river. The bridge will be useful to smooth the trade and improve communication between the two nations. Bangladesh official Rowshan Ara Khanam, 'The proposed bridge would be an important linkage between India and Bangladesh. The Bangladesh government has taken a number of steps to make it a reality.'
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had given approval to construct the bridge. The Mamit district is vicinal to Khagrachari district of Chittagong hill region of south-east Bangladesh. It has been proposed that the location of the bridge will be closer to the nearest land custom station in the Bangladesh side. Mizoram shares a 318 km un-fenced border with Bangladesh.
