In a recent meeting at Rail Bhawan, New Delhi, Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha engaged in discussions with Union Minister of Railways and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, focusing on the advancement of the state’s railway infrastructure and IT sector.
The dialogue encompassed several key projects aimed at enhancing connectivity and promoting economic growth in Tripura. Among the primary topics were the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express and an inter-city train service between Agartala and Guwahati, which are expected to significantly reduce travel time and improve regional connectivity.
