He categorically stated that drug peddling is a crime against the nation and urged collective action to protect the interests of both the people and the country.
In addition to addressing the drug-related concerns, Governor Reddy Nallu touched upon upcoming infrastructure developments, stating that Tripura is set to connect with Bangladesh through railway and roadways. He cited the completion of the Agartala-Akhaura railway project and the construction of the “Maitri” setu (bridge) between Tripura and Bangladesh as key initiatives that would enhance connectivity in the region.
Governor Reddy Nallu recently conducted meetings with top officials and leaders from various departments, including Rural Development, Urban Development, Tourism, and Transport. During these interactions, he urged officials to be more proactive in delivering prompt and efficient services to the public. The Governor also visited the Government-run Govind Ballabh Pant Medical College and Hospital, underscoring the importance of providing the best possible services to the people in the healthcare sector.
