He instructed the authorities concerned to adopt all measures required for the development of the spot to attract more number of tourists.

Talking to media persons, chief minister Deb said, “Tripura has the potentials to attract huge number of tourists.”

“Day by day, many unexplored places in Tripura are getting explored and Tripura will surely be developed into a tourist hub,” added Deb.

There are many places in Tripura which are yet to be explored and one such beautiful spot, which remained explored till recently is the Buddha waterfall.
