Freight train trial conducted in Agartala-Akhaura route

While there has been no official announcement regarding the inauguration date, sources closely associated with the project have indicated that the eagerly awaited unveiling of the Agartala-Akhaura rail project is imminent, expected to take place later this month. This momentous occasion will see Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and his Bangladeshi counterpart, Sheikh Hasina, jointly inaugurate the project in virtual mode.
Smita Pant, the Joint Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responsible for Bangladesh and Myanmar affairs, provided insights during her participation in a regional dialogue on exploring new trade routes. She revealed that the Agartala-Akhaura rail project, which holds significant importance in regional connectivity, is nearing completion. This rail link is poised to become the sixth operational connection between India and Bangladesh, with preparations already underway for establishing a seventh rail link with Assam.
The Agartala-Akhaura rail project has been a collaborative effort between India and Bangladesh, with both nations signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the ambitious rail connectivity initiative back in 2010. The impending inauguration signifies a significant milestone in the strengthening of bilateral ties and trade relations between the two neighboring countries.
As the project nears its completion, the rail station at Nischintapur in Agartala stands as a testament to state-of-the-art infrastructure, with only minor interior finishing touches remaining. This landmark rail project is poised to unlock vast opportunities for trade, travel, and economic cooperation between India and Bangladesh, further cementing their enduring partnership.
The inauguration, set to be held in virtual mode, underscores the significance of the Agartala-Akhaura rail project in enhancing connectivity and fostering collaboration in the South Asian region. It is expected to usher in a new era of trade and cooperation, benefiting the peoples of both nations.
