AGARTALA / ITANAGAR, Feb 9 (TIWN): Just like Tripura’s IIIT’s inauguration without preparing any College building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off his two-day tour of the Northeast last evening amid angry protests over the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill and dedicated a ‘foundation stone’ for Airport in Arunachal Pradesh.

Yesterday activists greeted the Prime Minister with black flags with several civil society groups across the Northeast, including the All Assam Students Union, deciding to intensify their ongoing agitation today. Slogans of #GoBack Modi were heard as activists stood by the roads waving black flags as PM Modi's motorcade was heading to Raj Bhawan from the airport last evening.

Modi has laid the foundation of a Greenfield Airport at Hollongi in Arunachal Pradesh's Parum Pare district at around 10 am.

In Tripura Modi’s rally is scheduled to be kick off at 3.30 pm.
