Dimapur is essential to Nagalandā€™s infrastructure because it serves as the state's only rail connection to the rest of India. A short stretch of the Northeast Frontier Railway passes through the city, providing a vital link for the region. Additionally, this rail access point acts as a key transportation hub that connects to national highways, facilitating travel and logistics for both Nagaland and neighboring states like Manipur.12
