Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina on Thursday inaugurated the reopened rail link between Haldibari in India and Chilahati in Bangladesh during the virtual bilateral summit. The rail link has been reopened after 55 years.

The railway line from Haldibari (West Bengal) to Chilahati (Bangladesh) has been defunct since 1965 after rail links between India and then East Pakistan had broken.
