In 2019, Bangladesh Railway decided to check the feasibility of this railway project and held several meetings for this purpose.[2] In 2021, the Bangladesh government included this railway line in the priority project.[3] In April 2022, the proposed project was recommended to the Planning Commission to approve the feasibility study.[2] According to the proposal of the Ministry of Railways, the railway line will start from Tongi and enter Manikganj District and pass through Manikganj to Paturia Ghat. Besides, a branch line of this railway line will go up to Keraniganj railway station via Nimtoli of Keraniganj Upazila.[4]
