Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb will meet with Union Home Minister Amit Shah today to discuss state issues. According to the state’s Drinking Water and Sanitation (DWS) Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, Tripura has surpassed the national average by providing drinking water tap connections to 50.32 per cent of rural households under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) initiative. The Ministry of Jal Shakti has awarded the Tripura government Rs 100 crore to recognise the state’s achievements.

Tripura has urged Bangladesh’s government to encourage industries to set up units in Tripura to boost the existing business relations between both countries to a new level. Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma said that both the countries will be equally benefited if Bangladesh Industries open manufacturing units in the state.
