Guwahati, Nov 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina jointly inaugurated three development projects through a virtual ceremony. These projects include a crucial rail connection between Tripura's Nischintapur and Gangasagar in Bangladesh. Additionally, they inaugurated the 65-km Khulna-Mongla Port Rail Line and Unit 2 of the Maitree Super Thermal Power Plant in Bangladesh's Rampal.
The 15-km Agartala-Akhaura Cross Border Rail Link is expected to bolster cross-border trade and significantly shorten travel time between Agartala and Kolkata via Dhaka.
