Modi applauds Mantra HIRA to make Tripura gateway to the NER
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the newly inaugurated Rs.450 crore Integrated Terminal Building of Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport will play a big role in enhancing air connectivity in the North East Region and was a part of the current regime’s Mantra of HIRA – H to Highway, I to Internet way, R to railways and A to Airways for improving the connectivity in Tripura.
The airport, he said, is a blend of Tripura’s culture, natural beauty and modern facilities. The 30,000 square metre Terminal has modern facilities and supported by the latest IT network-integrated system.
The Prime Minister pointed out that work is going on in full earnest to make Tripura the gateway to the northeast.
Road, rail, air and water connectivity infrastructure is getting unprecedented investment, turning Tripura into a new hub of business and industry as well as a trade corridor, he said on 4 Jan 2022.
Tripura can play an important role in giving the country an alternative to single-use plastic. A huge market is being created in the country for bamboo brooms and bamboo bottles products made here, he pointed out.
He also launched key initiatives like Mukhyamantri Tripura Gram Samriddhi Yojana and Project Mission 100 of Vidyajyoti Schools.
