Whither Industry !!! | There seems to be hardly effort to attract investments for industries in Tripura. The government seems to be blissfully oblivious of opportunities . While the extension of the submarine cable from Cox's Bazar is somewhat delayed because of the classic inefficiency which has become a BSNL trademark, it is surely going to come through in the next few months.
