'Indo-Bangla railway project to be over by this March

The Indo-Bangla railway connectivity project through Akhaura (Bangladesh) – Agartala (Tripura) would be reportedly completed by this March. The 

13 km-long railway project will connect Bangladesh with India’s northeast and West Bengal through Nischintapur along the Indo-Bangla border and will help in bolstering the trade and economic relations between the two countries. The concept of the Akhaura-Agartala railway project came in 2010. Three years later, both India and Bangladesh signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the railway project along with other issues. Once this project is opened, it would be the first railway route from North East India to Bangladesh.
