“The country is progressing fast with the increasing rate of production and export business and moving in line with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, the BJP-led coalition government in working diligently to enhance livelihood of the labourers and working-class people of Tripura,” he said, adding that Tripura could make an export business amounting to over Rs. 2.50 crore during the last financial year and it could be made possible due to the effort and labour of our workers.
