New Delhi, Mar 26 (IBNS) Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Jitendra Singh held a meeting with the Chief Minister of Tripura, Shri Manik Sarkar in Agartala on Saturday.

The two leaders discussed wide range of issues including the under-construction rail link to Bangladesh.

Jitendra Singh, on a daylong visit to Tripura, assured the Chief Minister of the Union Government’s full assistance to expedite the pace of development in Northeast and said that the upcoming rail link to Bangladesh will be a game-changer for the entire country and particularly for the State of Tripura because the train to Bangladesh will go through Agartala.

This will make Tripura not only an important destination for entire India but also give Agartala the distinction by becoming an important corridor for trade and transport to Bangladesh and other countries across the eastern border.

Later, addressing media persons, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, because of its strategic geographical location and high level of development, Tripura has emerged as an important player in the Union Government’s “Act East Policy”.

He said, the road works under the “Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana” (PMGSY) have also begun at a fast page and an exclusive North-East Road Development Corporation (NRDC), set up recently, is meant to devote primarily to the construction of neglected roads in the region.
