Agartala, Dec 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Tripura for a one-day tour on December 18, informed Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha.
Talking to reporters in Agartala, Saha said, “The PM is tentatively coming to visit Tripura on December 18 around 2.30 pm. He would inaugurate several schemes, meet our MLAs, and join a meeting of the BJP state core committee.”
Tripura Information and Cultural Affairs Minister Sushanta Chowdhury said the Prime Minister is scheduled to address a public gathering at Swami Vivekananda grounds after his arrival at the Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) airport.
He will also interact with beneficiaries of different welfare schemes and an interaction with MLAs and ministers is likely to be held, he added.
PM Modi’s visit comes amid an ongoing initiative of the state government to extend governance to the doorstep through a portal called ‘Amar Sarkar’ (My government) to fulfil Localised Sustainable Development Goals (LSDG).
The ‘Amar Sarkar’ initiative was designed as a web-based grievance redressal portal where issues faced by rural people could be raised and would be addressed in a time-bound manner. The whole grievance redressal system would also be monitored at the highest level.
