Union Minister Pratima Bhowmick said, “We are very excited that by Durga Puja, the rail route will start from Kolkata to Agartala via Bangladesh. One will reach Agartala from Kolkata in just 10 hours. Work is almost complete on this historic endeavour.” Bangladesh and India have four rail links, Petrapole-Benapole, Gede-Darshana, Radhikapur-Biral and Singhabad-Rohanpur. The new line will make its journey via Akhaura and connect the Dhaka-Chittagong route.
