Agartala, Aug 16 (TIWN): No need to waste anymore time waiting for another flight as Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday flagged off the daily direct flight of Indigo Airlines from Agartala to Delhi at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport,Agartala for the first time.

It brought a breathe of relief for the passengers as they will not have to waste time waiting for another connecting flight. This is a big step in the development of Tripura. “I believed that we have enough passengers to fill up the Agartala-Delhi flight”, he said. In all over North-east, after Guwahati, maximum flights land daily in Tripura’s MBB airport . Tripura is a small state but the people of the state know the worth of time. So now they won’t have to waste time anymore. 

 Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore dreamt of a model state, paying respect to him, in short time, PM Narendra Modi renamed as Maharaja Bir Bikram airport. Shri Deb thanked Shri Modi once again in his speech. 
 
Transportation is an important factor for the development of any state. As PM Shri Narendra Modi stated to transform Tripura into HIRA, Sabroom-Agartala highway has been made. In coming 4 years, rest of the highways  roads will be made investing 8,000 crores. On the other hand, the state’s GDP will increase. Government is working to increase GDP and revenue, so that the state can be self-contained. Government is also working to transform Tripura into an IT hub in all over the North-east, for that state government has released a tender for the land near the old Central Jail road. As a result, a lot of youths will find jobs and nobody will need to go outside the state looking out for employment.
 
Government also have started Rajdhani Express, but lately there have been complaints of the train delaying for 9 hours, it is due to the single route track, He added. Railways is working for that. Dharmanagar-Kailasahar-Khowai-Agartala-Belonia alternative railway tracks will be completed by 2020 investing minimum 7,000 crore. The Central and state government is working together for that.
 
NH8 is not the only way for transportation anymore. Tripura now has railway, highway, airway and soon Tripura will have waterway, as small ships enter into Tripura through the Gomati river. In very short time, Government of India and Government of Bangladesh together will announce international protocol road waterways. These changes were possible to bring in the state because of Modi ji’s support. Now every state is moving forward with a motive. Now everyone will be to get a taste of state’s queen pineapple barfi, which will be sold from now inside the MBB airport, he said with delight.
 
A Chief Minister alone cannot bring a change, everyone has to work together. Modi ji is endeavoured to make Tripura a no.1 state. We wil make Tripura the Sarwasreshtha Tripura together, he concluded. Transport & tourism minister Pranajit Singha Roy; Member of Parliament ,Lok sabha Pratima Bhowmik; MLA Dilip kumar Das, Airport Director and others were present in the ceremony.
