According to Saha, a whopping sum of Rs 7,000 crore had been allocated in the last budget for capital expenditure on infrastructure.“We have plans to construct four new flyovers across Agartala city, which will connect the points that witness heavy traffic congestion.
The whole city is expected to be covered through these four projects, and interlinkage between these four routes would also be established.The chief minister has also mentioned that they are in talks with the TATA group to establish a heritage five-star hotel in Agartala.
“Once this project takes shape, Tripura will make its place in the global heritage hotel chains managed by the TATA group. The tourist footfalls will increase substantially,” the Chief Minister added.

On the Destination Tripura Investment Summit, Saha said, “A total of 87 investors attended the event and signed MoUs worth Rs 3,700 crore. So, we have to be very careful. If we don't have infrastructure, investors will not come. Investors will invest if proper infrastructure is ready for investment.”
