You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Kaladan''' (((lang-my|ကုလားတန်မြစ်)), ((IPA-my|kəládàɰ̃ mjɪʔ|pron))) or '''Kissapanadi River''' (((lang-my|ကစ္ဆပနဒီ)), ((IAST|Kacchapanadī))), also known as the '''Beino''', '''Bawinu''' and '''Kolodyne''', is a [[river]] in eastern [[Mizoram|Mizoram State]] of [[India]], and in [[Chin State]] and [[Rakhine State]] of western [[Myanmar]].<ref name=chit1/> The Kaladan River is called the [[Chhimtuipui River]] in India.<ref name=chit4>[https://www.thestatesman.com/supplements/north/still-under-construction-1502635461.html Still under construction[, The Statesman.</ref> It forms the international border between India and Burma between 22° 47′ 10" N (where its tributary, the [[Tiau River]], joins it) and 22° 11′ 06" N.<ref name=chit1>[http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/burma/txu-oclc-6924198-nf46-7.jpg NF 46-7 "Gangaw, Burma"] U.S. Army Map Service topographic map 1:250,000, 1954, first printing April 1958</ref>

==History==
Kaladan was an entry point to Mizoram from the seaport of [[Sittwe]] in 1904. Kaladan is [[Mizoram]]'s largest river and it flows through its southeastern region.<ref>((cite book |last1=Pachuau |first1=Joy |title=The Camera as a Witness |date=13 April 2015 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781107073395 |pages=153))</ref>

==Geography==
((cleanup|reason=lat/lon should either use [[Template:Coord]] per [[MOS:COORDS]] and maybe move to footnotes, or be dropped|date=December 2021))
The river arises in central Chin State as the Timit, ((coord|22|49|28|N|93|31|57|E|display=inline)), and flows south and is soon joined by the Chal, after which it is known as the Boinu River. It continues south until just before it is joined by the Twe River at 22° 08′ 40″ N 93° 34′ 30″ E, when it swings west. It continues west until 22° 05′ 20″ N 93° 14′ 12″ E, when it heads northwest. At 22° 11′ 06″ N 93° 09′ 29″ E, below Mount Phabipa, it turns north and becomes the international border between India and Myanmar. It flows north to 22° 47′ 09″ N 93° 05′ 47″ E, where the international border continues north along the Tyao River, and the Boinu heads northwest into Mizoram State, at which point it is known as the Kaladan.

At 22° 56′ 21″ N 92° 58′ 55″ E it reaches its northernmost point, and turns south west, is joined by the Tuichong River from the right and then heads south.<ref name="Chittagong">[http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/india/nf-46-06a.jpg NF 46-6 "Chittagong, Pakistan"] U.S. Army Map Service topographic map 1:250,000, 1955, first printing March 1960</ref> The Kaladan is joined from the right by the Mat River at  22° 43′ 39″ N, 92° 54′ 46″ E.  It continues south and is joined by the Kawrthingdeng River from the right.  It again enters Chin State, at Raithaw Ferry,  22° 03′ 40″ N 92° 51′ 05″ E,<ref name="Chittagong"/> just northwest of Khenkhar.  The Mi River joins from the left at 21° 06′ 56″ N 92° 57′ 42″ E.<ref>[http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/burma/txu-oclc-6924198-nf46-10.jpg "Cox's Bazar, Pakistan"] U.S. Army Map Service topographic map 1:250,000, 1954, first printing March 1960</ref>  At [[Ngame, Burma|Ngame]] the river enters the Rakhine State of Myanmar and continues south to [[Sittwe]] where it enters the [[Bay of Bengal]].

At present, the Kaladan is the fifth largest river in the world that is completely unfragmented by [[dam]]s anywhere in its [[catchment]], behind only the [[Fly River|Fly]], [[Mamberamo River|Mamberamo]] and [[Sepik River|Sepik]] in [[New Guinea]] and the [[Pechora River|Pechora]] in [[Russia]].<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.gwsp.org/fileadmin/downloads/Nilsson_Science2005.pdf |title=Fragmentation and Flow Regulation of the World's Large River Systems |access-date=12 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330202803/http://www.gwsp.org/fileadmin/downloads/Nilsson_Science2005.pdf |archive-date=30 March 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all ))</ref> Nonetheless, the governments of India and Myanmar are working on a US$500 million, ''[[Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project]]'' that will facilitate trade between the two nations.<ref>[http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2004/03/20/stories/2004032000840400.htm The Hindu Business Line : `Work on Kaladan river project in Mizo to start soon'<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The project includes the construction of the US$120 million deepwater [[Sittwe Port]] at the mouth of the river, dredging of the Kaladan River to enable cargo vessels to [[navigability|navigate the river]] from Sittwe to Mizoram, the construction of a river port at [[Paletwa]], as well as the widening and upgrade of highways between Paletwa and Myeikwa on the Indo-Myanmar border.<ref name=ibn-portstarts>((cite news|url=http://www.indoburmanews.net/archives-1/2010/december_2010/construction-of-sittwe-port-for-kaladan-multiple-river-project-starts/|title=Construction of Sittwe Port for Kaladan Multiple River Project Starts|publisher=Indo-Burma News|date=2010-12-01|access-date=2011-10-14|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401020702/http://www.indoburmanews.net/archives-1/2010/december_2010/construction-of-sittwe-port-for-kaladan-multiple-river-project-starts/|archive-date=2012-04-01))</ref> India undertook the development of the 158&nbsp;km river boat route from [[Sittwe]] seaport to the Inland Water Terminal (IWT) and hydropower project at [[Paletwa]] jetty via the Kaladan River in [[Myanmar]].<ref name=biz1>[http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/india-awards-road-contract-to-complete-kaladan-project-in-myanmar/article9723297.ece India awards road contract to complete Kaladan project in Myanmar], Business Line, 9 June 2017.</ref><ref name=mand3/> River dredging and a jetty upgrade were completed in June 2017.<ref name=biz1/><ref name=mand3>[https://www.mmtimes.com/news/india-ramps-myanmar-ties-gain-foothold-asean.html India ramps up Myanmar ties]</ref> There is at least one [[Lock (water navigation)|river lock]] for navigation.<ref name=lock1>[http://stsfor.org/content/indias-infrastructure-development-projects-myanmar-game-changer-region-part-2-3 India's connectivity to Myanmar].</ref> The project will open up not only Mizoram but all of India's northeastern states as hinterland for the Sittwe Port.
