Agartala: A special survey will be conducted for establishing railway link between Agartala and Akhaura in Bangladesh, officials said on Tuesday.

Chief Engineer of the NF Railway Mohan Lal met Tripura Chief Secretary SK Panda on Monday and a discussion was held regarding the progress of the laying of railway tracks in the state, Special Secretary of state transport department Kishore Ambuli said after a discussion with the North East Frontier Railway officials on the progress of laying the line for the project.

Earlier in June, an eight-member delegation of Indian Railway Board had finalised the proposed railway link between Agartala and Akhaura via Gangasagar in Bangladesh.
