The work will be done from Akhaura to Agartala railway station, whereas the Bangladesh part will be done by Bangladesh Govt itself.

The Compensation will be given 4 times more than the Govt rate to around 250 people. The project would further boost Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Act East' policy.
