"Many pending issues relating to the Agartala-Akhaura railway track including funding will be discussed in the meeting to be held on Wednesday in Delhi and a modified detailed project report will be prepared," Tripura transport secretary Samarjit Bhowmick told reporters here today.
Bhowmick, who would also participate in the meeting, said Rs 302 crore would be required to acquire 100 acres of land in the Indian side to lay the tracks.
The entire cost of the project is being borne by India and the project would be implemented by the Northeast Frontier Railway.
This project was approved by an agreement signed by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in January, 2010 in Delhi.
The 1,700 km distance between Agartala and Kolkata through would be reduced to 350 km if passengers from here could move through Bangladesh.
