The Tripura government has announced it will write to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari demanding immediate repairs on national highways within the state.
The Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Saha, has confirmed that the state government will formally address Union Minister Nitin Gadkari regarding the urgent need for repairs on national highways in Tripura.
The letter will request the central government’s intervention to expedite maintenance work that has been delayed, citing safety concerns for commuters and the impact on local trade.
Tripura’s transport department has reported several stretches of highway in poor condition, with potholes and erosion affecting connectivity between key districts.
The government’s move follows growing public complaints and a series of stalled repair projects that have left many roads in a deteriorated state.
The Tripura administration hopes that the central ministry will allocate necessary funds and manpower to restore the highways to a safe and functional condition as soon as possible.
