NFR fast-tracks ₹972-cr rail line connecting three states
The Northeast Frontier Railways (NFR), which has already connected Guwahati (adjoining capital Dispur), Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh's capital cities, has fast-tracked the work of laying tracks to connect the capital cities of three more northeastern states - Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland - by March 2023. NFR’s General Manager Sanjive Roy informed that the work to lay the broad gauge new railway line is progressing well at an investment of ₹972 crore. The works for the 12.23-km Agartala (Tripura)-Akhaura (Bangladesh) new railway lines are underway and would be completed by March next year. The journey time between Agartala and Kolkata via Bangladesh would be reduced by a third, from 1,613 km through mountainous terrain to 514 km. Linking with the existing Agartala railway station, of the 12.23 km India-Bangladesh new railway line, 5.46 km railway tracks were laid in India (on the outskirts of the capital city Agartala) and 6.57 km railway line was laid in Bangladesh.
