Bangladesh and India are set to relaunch a trans-border rail route between Chilahati and West Bengal's Haldibari which has been inoperative for almost 55 years.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her India counterpart Narendra Modi will inaugurate the route in a virtual ceremony on Dec 17, Indian media reported.

A cargo train will run from Chilahati to Haldibari to mark the reopening of the route, according to Indian railway officials.
