Agartala: The Union Ministry of Rural Development just signed off on 96 new road projects for Tripura. These works fall under the PMGSY-IV program for the 2026-27 budget. The total bill comes to Rs 211.71 crore. They plan to pave 163.872 km of fresh road.
This move connects 96 isolated habitations to the main grid. Local families struggle to reach doctors and schools. The new pavement changes that. It also helps farmers move their crops to market without losing goods to mud or rough terrain. Officials confirmed the goal is simple. "The development of all-weather roads will strengthen rural infrastructure and improve the overall quality of life in villages," they said.
The government has poured plenty of cash into this state before. Since the PMGSY program started, the Centre has approved 1,594 road projects covering 6,284 km. They also built 66 bridges. Total spending hit Rs 4,479 crore. Dirt roads are disappearing. Construction starts once the state finishes the paperwork and tendering process.
