Gulf Times: Agartala linked to rail network

A small bridge over river Feni can connect Sabroom and Khagrachari, across the border in Bangladesh, to open a second railway link between the two neighbours after the Kolkata-Dhaka rail service that started on April 14, 2008, after a gap of 43 years.
“After extending the railway line to Sabroom, Tripura and the entire northeast would be linked with Southeast Asia very easily,” Sarkar said.
Meanwhile, the NFR has already conducted a survey to connect Agartala with Akhaurah railway station in Bangladesh. >detail> http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=245949&version=1&template_id=40&parent_id=22
