The '''Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project''' is a project that will connect the eastern Indian seaport of [[Kolkata]] with [[Sittwe]] seaport in [[Myanmar]] by sea; it will then link [[Sittwe]] seaport to [[Lashio|Paletwa]] in [[Myanmar]] via [[Kaladan river]] boat route and then from Paletwa on to [[Mizoram]] by road transport. Originally, the project was scheduled to be completed by 2014,<ref>{{cite news|last=Purushothaman|first=Vakkom|title=Kaladan Multi Modal Transit Transport Project to link sea route in Myanmar with Mizoram|url=http://tntmagazine.in/news/mizoram/kaladan-multi-modal-transit-transport-project-to-link-sea-route-in-myanmar-with-mizoram/|accessdate=11 August 2012|newspaper=The Northeast Times}}</ref> but is expected to be operational only by December 2016.<ref>http://www.asianage.com/columnists/myanmar-new-balancing-act-336</ref>
