It's a double line broad gauge track.
That's a flat topography, and there are several trains and buses from Kolkata everyday, the service is uninterrupted.
Siliguri corridor is not in North-East, it is in West Bengal.
No wonder Bangladeshis believe that Sayedee's face was seen on the moon, because it is on the internet.
@ni8mare That guy once asked for the proof of the existence of some highrises in Kolkata where I frequently visit, Wiki or real photos were not good enough for him, he wanted 'credible source'!!
what is really amusing that being from being other country they think they know of NE. i mean the way this people talking as if these people stay in NE..as you said ..... i studied in kolkata and i kw how much kolkata is filled NE students.....and i my self stay at guwahati for study have couples of friend from NE and kw there opinionYou have no idea about how many Kolkata babus work in NE India, and how many NE Indians live, work & study in Kolkata for decades. I have many friends from places like Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal, my colleague sitting 3 cubicles apart was posted in Nagaland for 6 years, we are more integrated than you can imagine, whom are you trying to fool?
I will agree with some of your points - but if you think clearly without bias (Take Bangladesh as _not_ an Islamist entity) then the best option for the Indian North East to develop economically is to integrate economically with Bangladesh - pure and simple. We are talking about,
1. Proximity (lower cost of exported products to the huge market of central Bangladesh and beyond to rest of India including Kolkata and Vizag, using riverine container ports and waterways as well as roadways),
2. Lower cost of Importing goods via Chittagong Port and Dhaka's road-based and riverine container ports (a lot cheaper than any other route in India).
2. Being a resource hinterland for forestry and agricultural products supplied to Bangladesh,
3. The NorthEast becoming a market for goods produced in Bangladesh whether by Indian or Bangladeshi companies.
Indian companies could set up factories in Bangladesh to,
a) Utilize NE Indian resources, and
b) Supply NE India with manufactured products as well as the rest of India (tax and duty free within SEZ's) using NE raw materials.
Money can be made using all these components,
1. Indian capital and machinery
2. Low cost Bangladeshi labor
3. Low cost agricultural and forestry resources from NE India
The Chinese would have used this to their advantage twenty years ago. Unfortunately - we Bangladeshis and Indians don't have time for this. We are too busy hating on each other , accentuating our flimsy differences and calling each other stupid names.
Just one example. Ten years ago bamboo used to rot in China. Today they have become an industry worth tens of Billions in that country. And guess what? There's plenty of Bamboo in NE India.

Tripura’s bamboo floor tiles in great demand, find markets abroad - The Hindu
BAMBOO (NMBA) : PROJECTS
and you are right about plentiful of bamboo
india, China, and Myanmar together have about 198 lakh hectares of bamboo reserves and 80 per cent of the world’s bamboo forests. Of this, India’s share is about 45 per cent,” he told IANS. “However, India’s share in global market in bamboo economy is only 4.5 per cent.
China alone had captured 50 per cent of the world market
