Description
Description | The Agartala-Akhaura railway link is a cross-border rail connectivity project between India and Bangladesh aimed at boosting trade and people-to-people connectivity. The Indian portion runs from Agartala Railway Station to Nischintapur Yard (5.46 km) and has been commissioned. The Bangladesh portion is 6.78 km long. The project is designed to significantly reduce travel time between the Northeast and Kolkata from 31 hours to 10 hours by shortening the route from approximately 1600 km to 500 km. The project was formally sanctioned in 2012-2013, with construction starting in July 2016. A portion of the rail link was inaugurated in November 2023 with a freight train run from Gangasagar (Bangladesh) to Nischintapur (India). However, political turmoil in Bangladesh has halted progress on the Bangladesh side, causing delays. |
