Operation of Indo-Bangla railway, Maitri Setu: Tripura CM to meet PM Modi soon
Aug 02, 2022Concerned over the delay of the slow progress in the Indo-Bangla railway link and issues halting operations through Indo-Bangla Maitri Setu, the Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Tuesday said that he would seek Centre’s intervention on this.
The Chief Minister will meet PM Modi on August 6 next to apprise of the progress of centrally sponsored projects running in the state.
“Some parts of the construction of the Maitri Setu are still incomplete on the Bangladesh side which is impeding the movement of goods. During a courtesy meeting with the officials of Bangladesh posted here in our state, I told them to sort out the issues, and they are very generous about that. But these issues are required to be raised on appropriate platforms between both countries. So, I will certainly take up these issues with the concerned authorities in the Centre,” Saha said while replying to the queries of the reporters on Tuesday.
Noting the progress of the Indo-Bangla railway link, the Chief Minister said, “I have already spoken to the Union Minister of railways about the issues emerging centring the Indo-Bangla railway link. A possible date for completion of the work has already been declared and so we are looking forward to that.”
