The Dhansiri–Zubza Line is a single-track railroad under construction between the two major cities of the Indian state of Nagaland—Dimapur and Kohima. The line starts from Dhansiri junction near Dimapur Railway Station to Kohima Zubza Railway Station. It is a part of Northeast Frontier Railway zone of Indian Railways.
The Dimapur Railway Station was first opened in 1903. As part of the Indian Railway's ambitious plan to connect all the capitals of the north-eastern states by broad gauge rail link, railway minister Suresh Prabhu laid the foundation stone of the 88-km rail line to bring Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, on the railway map of India. The project will be executed in three phases.
First announced in 2006, the line is currently expected to open in December 2029.[1]
