If all goes planned, the railways will soon enter the region close to Indian-Chinese border. Railways will enter the Himalayan state of Sikkim after a never-ending wait of 43 years. After the railways' entry into the Sikkim region, the locals will be benefitted majorly. The proposed link will facilitate faster military movement towards Sino Indian border that the Himalayan state hosts. Around 51 km of the line will pass through Gorkhaland while the remaning section would be in Sikkim.
