India-bangladesh Railway Project

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina jointly inaugurated three Indian-assisted development projects via video conferencing on Wednesday.

More than 95 per cent work of laying tracks on the Indian side of the Haldibari-Chilahati India-Bangladesh railway link project has been completed, a top Northeast Frontier Railway official said.

A number of connectivity projects, including a new passenger train service between Kolkata and Bangladesh's southwestern industrial city of Khulna, were today launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina that will help reduce the travel time by three hours.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to lay the foundation stone of a new India-Bangladesh railway project on May 27, a top railway official said on Tuesday.

The Centre has sanctioned Rs 1,000 crore for laying of 15.06 km long tracks to connect Indian Railways with Bangladesh through the North East.

The Indian government has sanctioned around Rs.1,000 crore for a 15-km India-Bangladesh railway project, an official said today.

NITI Aayog will hold a meeting in New Delhi on June 18 in a bid to break the deadlock on the proposed India-Bangladesh railway project, Tripura Transport Minister Manik Dey said today.

The India-Bangladesh railway project to connect the North East with Bangladesh will be further delayed as no funds were allocated for acquisition of land to extend the tracks in the Railway Budget, a state minister said today.
