PM Modi, Sheikh Hasina to jointly inaugurate cross-border rail project on November 1
The 15-km rail link (5km in India and 10km in Bangladesh) will boost cross-border trade and significantly reduce the travel time between Agartala and Kolkata via Dhaka, the officials said. The trial run of the project will take place at 12pm on Monday. It encompasses one major bridge and three minor bridges. "At present, it takes about 31 hours to reach Kolkata from Agartala by train, which will be reduced to just 10 hours," an official said.
