New Project to Connect Agartala with Bangladesh

To have cordial and improved relations with the neighbouring countries, Indian Railways takes up projects to provide rail connectivity to such countries. This year, it is proposed to take up a project to connect Agartala with Akhaura in Bangladesh. This rail link will not only improve bilateral ties but will also help in establishing connectivity with inaccessible areas in northeast as journey from Kolkata to Tripura via Bangladesh will result in significant savings in time and distance travelled.

Last year, two projects namely, Jogbani-Biratnagar new line and Jaynagar-Bijalpura-Bardibas line to provide connectivity to Nepal were taken up.
