The Centre has already sanctioned Rs 6.50 crore to construct a permanent jetty to facilitate bilateral trade through the Srimantapur Integrated Land Port (ICP) in Tripura’s Sepahijala district.
The 94-km proposed waterway from Sonamura to Daudkandi needs to undergo dredging to increase water level for free movement of vessels. The dredging work will be done on the basis of trade potential and the process will be a contributory sort. Recently, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman inaugurated a GST building near the ICP.
