Railway track connecting Kolkata Tripura via Bangladesh
The Agartala-Akhaura rail-link between Indian Railway and Bangladesh Railway will reduce the current 1700 km road distance between Kolkata to Agartala via Siliguri to just 350 km by railway. Though 10 km of the 15 km rail distance falls within Bangladesh, the entire cost of Rs. 1000 crore will be funded by India.
The project is expected to be completed by 2017.
