The 121 km long National Waterway-6 is a waterway between Lakhipur in Assam’s Cachar district and Bhanga on the Assam-Bangladesh border, which passes through the Barak river.
During a zero hour in the ongoing budget session on Tuesday, Vanlalvena raised the issue of socio-economic development for tribal people living along the bank of the Barak river on both Mizoram and Manipur sides in the upper house.
