China’s new conspiracy against India has surfaced. China has completed the laying of rail tracks to connect Lhasa and Nayingshi cities of Tibet near the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh. According to media reports, the Sichuan-Tibet Railway will be the second railway in Tibet after the Ching hai-Tibet Railway. It will pass through the southeast of the Ching hai-Tibet Plateau, which is one of the geologically most active regions of the world. The Sichuan-Tibet Railway starts from Chengdu, the capital of the Sichuan Province, and enters Tibet via Yan and via Chamdo.

The time taken by this train to travel between Chengdu and Lhasa has been reduced from 48 hours to 13 hours. Nayingshi is also known as Linjhi, which is near the Arunachal Pradesh border. Last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping instructed officials to expedite the construction of the new rail project connecting Chichuan Province and Linzhi. He had said that it would play an important role in protecting the stability of the border.

According to the Tibet Railway Construction Company Limited, the manufacturer of this railway route, the train can pass at a speed of 160 kmph. This 435 km long rail route has 47 tunnels and 120 bridges. Construction of this rail route connecting Lhasa, the capital of Tibet and Nyingchi, in eastern Tibet began in 2014. 90 percent of the railroad is at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level.
