Tripura to become gateway to SE Asia once Maitri bridge is opened for public: Manik Saha

Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday said that the state will emerge as the gateway to Southeast Asia once the Maitri bridge, linking Sabroom with Bangladesh’s Ramgarh, is thrown open for public.

Maitri bridge, over Feni river, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 9 last year.

Located only 74 km away from Chittagong port, the bridge will opened to traffic once customs and immigration facilities are made available on the Bangladesh side by the Sheikh Hasina government, officials said.
