The Look East Policy, now enhanced as the Act East Policy, emphasizes connectivity with Southeast Asia and improving infrastructure within India’s North-Eastern states, including connectivity to neighboring countries like Bangladesh. Among the given options, Agartala, the capital of Tripura, has a functional international rail link with Bangladesh (Akhaura, near Agartala). The Agartala-Akhaura rail line is a significant project under the Act East Policy aimed at enhancing connectivity between North-East India and Bangladesh.

Improving infrastructure and connectivity, including rail, road, and waterways, within the North-East and with neighboring countries is a crucial component of India’s Act East Policy to boost trade, tourism, and people-to-people contact.

While other North-Eastern state capitals (Kohima, Imphal, Itanagar) are also part of broader connectivity plans within the region and to Southeast Asia, the direct and operational rail link to Bangladesh currently exists prominently from Agartala. Connectivity projects involving other NE states and neighboring countries are in various stages of planning or development, but Agartala is a key, established rail link point.
