Addressing media, CM said, “We are gradually coming out of lockdown. So, even after coming out of lockdown, how can we keep the balance of our lives, it is to be on focus. Single shop, means a single shop in a whole area can be opened now. In rural areas also markets to be opened but it means by strictly following the lockdown rules. Govt means public and thus public have bigger responsibility for all guidelines’ implementations and thus I urge the Bazar committees to take charge so that lockdown can be maintainedâ€. Talking about economic plans in post lockdown period, CM said, “Now, it is very important to hold the economy in time. If time flies, then economy will break down and nobody can repair itâ€.
“Tripura’s most important sector for industrial income is the rubber industry. Around 1500 crores of income Tripura Govt gets per year due to rubber industry but now rubbers are not exporting. In last 2 months around Rs. 250 crores of income stopped. So, we have to wait for rubber incomes and think alternatives”, said CM.
He also challenged to develop farmers’ incomes 10 times than now, adding, nothing is impossible if the will is strong.

CM mentioned about poultry, milk industry can bring massive profits shortening the deadline of the project which was earlier planned. He urged people to take loans and start business.
Deb said, milk industry is such an industry which can give profit by 1 year, Floriculture can give by 6 months.
“Only primary sectors can grow state’s economy fast. For cow purchasing huge subsidies are there with no interest. It is not tough to rear cows which is often misunderstood. This industry is a part of Indian economy from long back”, he said.
CM further motivated pisciculture for industrial growth as huge amounts are gone to other states from fishing industry as Tripura has less fish cultivation.
