The Tripura government has earmarked Rs 1.29 crore to purchase road‑safety gear aimed at improving traffic control across the state.
Tripura's public works department announced a budget of Rs 1.29 crore dedicated to acquiring road‑safety equipment, including traffic signals, speed‑limit signs and pedestrian crossing markers.
The initiative forms part of a wider state effort to curb accidents and streamline vehicular flow on highways and urban roads after a recent uptick in traffic‑related incidents.
Officials said the equipment will be installed over the coming months in high‑risk zones such as national highways passing through Agartala and other busy corridors. The procurement will be overseen by the state's Road Safety Cell to ensure compliance with national standards.
The spending underscores Tripura's intent to align with the central government's Road Safety Mission, which encourages states to modernise traffic infrastructure.
