India-Bangladesh rail project by 2017

NITI Aayog has decided to commission the proposed 15 km India-Bangladesh railway project along Tripura by 2017. The Rs 575 crore project will reduce the 1,650-km distance between Agartala and Kolkata to only 515 km once the rail track is constructed through Bangladesh. The Northeast Frontier Railway is the nodal agency for the project, while state-owned Indian Railway Construction Company (IRCON) is expected to lay the tracks on both sides of the border.
