While visits to West Tripura and Sepahijala districts are being considered, the final itinerary is yet to be confirmed.

Saha also informed that he will travel to Meghalaya to attend the 23rd Plenary Session scheduled for June 4. The previous plenary session was hosted by Tripura.

As the convener on investment-related matters, the Chief Minister said he would emphasize the need to attract greater investment to the Northeast and discuss measures to improve the region’s investment climate. He also plans to highlight infrastructure development initiatives and present updates on the Tripura Space Application Centre (TSAC) along with other key issues concerning the state’s development.

The proposed five-star hotel project at Puspabanta Palace is being developed following the signing of an MoU with the Tata Group.
