The 80 Km NH 208 project has been taken up by the National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited with a project cost of Rs 1,078 crore.

Prime Minister Modi will also inaugurate State Highways and other district roads, developed by the state government with a financial outlay of Rs 63.75 crore.

They will provide all-weather connectivity to the people of Tripura.
