'''Aizawl Monorail''' is the proposed monorail for the town of [[Aizawl]], capital of the state of [[Mizoram]] in North-East India.
The decision for the monorail is being taken because of increase in number of vehicles in town, which causes traffic problems.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mizoramexpress.com/index.php/2011/03/monorail-to-ease-traffic-in-aizawl/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=22 February 2012 |archive-date=5 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305154317/http://mizoramexpress.com/index.php/2011/03/monorail-to-ease-traffic-in-aizawl |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Our Special Correspondent |url=http://telegraphindia.com/1110321/jsp/northeast/story_13740952.jsp |title=The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Northeast | Monorail project for Aizawl |publisher=Telegraphindia.com |date=2011-03-21 |access-date=2012-12-24 |archive-date=18 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180518055649/https://www.telegraphindia.com/1110321/jsp/northeast/story_13740952.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sinlung.com/2011/07/mono-rail-and-cable-car-in-aizawl.html |title=Mono Rail And Cable Car in Aizawl? |publisher=Sinlung |date=2011-07-16 |access-date=2012-12-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newkerala.com/news/world/fullnews-164776.html |title=News # ] |publisher=Newkerala.com |date=2012-12-16 |access-date=2012-12-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lawrkhawm.com/index.php?page=31463 |title=Monorail project for Aizawl « Lawrkhawm |publisher=Lawrkhawm.com |access-date=2012-12-24 |archive-date=23 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110323085537/http://lawrkhawm.com/index.php?page=31463 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
