Modern transport was introduced in the Naga Hills by the British, initially to conquer the Hills, and then, the same was expanded to retain the conquered Hills. The colonial roads, however, even at the beginning of the 20th century were still largely of “bridle paths.” Significant capacity expansion in roads came only post‐statehood. However, the state of transport in Nagaland, even today, is still characterized by myriad issues and challenges. Against this backdrop, and in the light of a stagnant, regionally skewed underdeveloped economy of the province, it is imperative to invest in transport infrastructure and services. A survey of literature on “transport and development” shows that investment in transport in an economy like that of Nagaland brings about huge returns.

从道路到道路：那加兰邦道路运输的问题和挑战

现代交通工具是由英国人在纳迦山引入的，最初是为了征服山丘，然后又扩大以保留被征服的山丘。然而，即使在 20 世纪初，殖民地道路仍然主要是“缰绳”。道路容量的显着扩张是在建国后才出现的。然而，即使在今天，那加兰邦的交通状况仍然存在无数问题和挑战。在此背景下，鉴于该省经济停滞不前、区域性不发达，投资交通基础设施和服务势在必行。一项关于“交通与发展”的文献调查表明，在像那加兰邦这样的经济体中对交通进行投资会带来丰厚的回报。
