Good to see a Union Minister's itinerary that includes both development projects and cultural respect—visiting the Shaktipeeth and Unakoti. Development should be holistic. The tourism circuit project sounds promising for local employment.

While I appreciate the announcements, I hope this isn't just another photo-op before the elections. We've seen many foundation stones laid but projects delayed for years. The people of Tripura and Assam need real, tangible benefits, not just promises.

Investing in the MCH wing and dental college is crucial. Improving healthcare infrastructure in the North East will have a direct impact on the quality of life. This is development that truly matters.

The focus on bamboo and agarwood projects is smart. These are traditional strengths of the region. Promoting them can create a strong economic base and reduce dependency on other states. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

As someone from the region, I'm cautiously optimistic. Connectivity and tourism projects are welcome, but the real test is in maintenance and creating lasting jobs. Hope the local communities are actively involved in the planning and execution.
