Rail Services In Tripura

Several northeastern states, including Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, and Assam, remained cut off from rest of country by rail as railway tracks were waterlogged and damaged after landslides triggered by incessant rain in the aftermath of Cyclone Remal.

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu on Tuesday flagged off a new rail line beyond Agartala - up to the southern temple city of Udaipur.

Torrential rains and heavy landslides have once again disrupted rail services in southern Assam, Tripura, Manipur and Mizoram, officials said today.

Tripura would remain out of the rail network for more than six months as the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) would undertake gauge conversion work from September 20, 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 Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), which is building rail infrastructure in the region, has targeted to connect all its eight state capitals by 2020, a senior official has said.
