The Ministry of Railways sanctioned a proposal to conduct a survey to connect Belonia in south Tripura through an alternative route from Dharmanagar in north Tripura. It also approved a fund of ₹43 lakh towards expenditure involved in the survey, and research issues.

The Office of the General Manager, Construction, of the Northeastern Frontier Railway (NFR), with its headquarters in Maligaon received the sanctioned letters from the Ministry and Railway Board, a railway official said in Agartala on Friday.

The 170-km proposed route would cover Dharmanagar, Pecharthal, Kamalpur, Khowai, Agartala and Belonia.
