Good to see the focus on deadlines. In our country, projects often get delayed for years. Setting specific timeframes is crucial. But the real test is on-ground implementation. Let's see if the departments can actually deliver.

Involving expatriates is a smart move. The Northeast has huge untapped potential. If NRIs from Tripura invest back home, it can create jobs and boost the local economy. Hope the state government creates a smooth process for them.

While the ranking is commendable, I hope the development is inclusive and reaches the rural and tribal areas of Tripura. Often, progress is limited to cities like Agartala. The focus should be on balanced regional growth.

As someone who has visited Tripura, the infrastructure development in recent years is noticeable. The connectivity is improving. The CM's focus on continuing this pace is exactly what is needed for the entire Northeast region to prosper.

Meetings and targets are good, but accountability is key. Will there be public updates on these project timelines? Transparency will build more trust. Congratulations to Tripura, nonetheless! Jai Hind.
