The capital of Tripura, Agartala, will be equipped with a Rs 600 crore stormwater drainage system to tackle persistent waterlogging.
The state government has approved a Rs 600 crore investment for a comprehensive stormwater drainage system in Agartala, aiming to address the city’s recurring waterlogging issues. The new infrastructure will channel rainwater away from congested streets, reducing flood risk during the monsoon season and improving urban mobility. It is part of Tripura’s broader plan to upgrade municipal services and enhance resilience against climate‑related challenges. Construction is slated to begin soon, with the government emphasizing timely completion to mitigate future waterlogging incidents.
