Chief Minister of Tripura, Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, has called for swift action on projects falling under the Light House Project and Township Projects in Agartala. The projects are overseen by the Tripura Urban and Planning Development Authority (TUDA).
During his visit on Monday to multiple locations in Agartala, Dr. Saha emphasized the need for timely project completion.
Among the sites he inspected were Matangini Pritilata Hall, Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan, Government Music and Art College, TUDA Township projects in Kunjaban and Kaman Chowmuhani, the Multilevel car parking and commercial complex at Old Motor Stand, and the Light House Project at Akhaura Road.
Dr. Saha expressed his satisfaction with the progress, saying, “I have visited the Township projects under TUDA to inspect the status of ongoing work and understand the technology being used, considering Tripura’s seismic zone 5 classification”, he said.
“The progress is satisfactory. In Kaman Chowmuhani, flat bookings are almost complete, and in Kunjaban, approximately 60% of the bookings have been made. The facilities being implemented here are on par with those in other developed cities”, Dr Saha added.
He also highlighted his visit to the Pritilata Auditorium, where he issued directives for necessary improvements, and the Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan, where he instructed immediate repairs, as funds have already been allocated.
Dr. Saha shared that the construction of the Multilevel car parking and commercial complex at Old Motor Stand is slated for completion within the next two years.
Regarding the Light House Project, he mentioned, “I also visited the Light House project, which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream project. I had visited it earlier and encountered some issues, but today, I observed that the work is progressing well, and the construction will be completed in phases within the stipulated timeframe. We need to conduct physical inspections and will continue to do so in the coming days. I visited to instruct officials to expedite the work.”
During the Chief Minister’s visit, he was accompanied by Secretary to Chief Minister PK Chakraborty, officials from various departments, engineers, and other relevant concerned officials, all working together to ensure the successful and timely execution of these vital projects.
