The Prime Minister is at the venue to inaugurate the building and a few other programmes including Mukhyamantri Tripura Gram Samriddhi Yojana and Project Mission 100 of Vidyajyoti Schools.

"The previous govt had no vision for the state. I had assured 'HIRA' (H-highways, I- internet way, R-railways, A-airport) model of development in Tripura. Work is underway to develop Tripura as a gateway to the northeast," PM Modi said at the event.

The New Integrated Terminal Building of Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport is built at a cost of about Rs 450 crore.
