PM Modi to address third anniversary celebration of Tripura govt

Agartala, Mar 8 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate 4.12 km long Maitree Setu over River Feni in South Tripura connecting Chittagong sea port of Bangladesh tomorrow in the virtual presence of his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hassina on the celebration of third anniversary of BJP-IPFT government in Tripura.
After opening of Maitree Setu, Tripura is set to become the ‘Gateway of Northeast’ with access to sea covering the distance of only 72 kilometres from bordering town Sabroom. The then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had laid the foundation of the bridge in 2010 but the work started in 2017. Meantime, the central government has sanctioned SEZ at Sabroom to facilitate international trade.
The goods transportation on sea route for Northeastern states will be shifted to Chittagong from Haldia port of West Bengal, as all the states except for Sikkim and bordering parts of Assam with Bengal will reduce the distance for carrying goods on surface route would be half; thereby Tripura will be the trade hub for South East Asia.
