This has come as a relief for the state as long-term suspension of highway connectivity could have caused a serious crisis of essentials in the domestic markets of the state.
Tripura was already cut off through the railway link as heavy rains inundated the Haflong railway station.
“After June 20, a large number of lorries carrying petrol, diesel, LPG bullets and other essential items like rice from FCI have entered. Some vehicles will be arriving in the next few days. As per the ground reports, the road is still weak and thus the vehicles were being given pass slowly”, said an official.
