Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb Friday said that work to set up two Integrated Development Complex (IDC) at Manughat in Unakoti and Muhurighat in South Tripura districts respectively could not be started despite funds being sanctioned from the central government.
The project has been stalled as Bangladesh Border Guards (BGB) did not grant permission to Indian authorities for the construction of IDC on the Tripura frontiers, the CM said.
In his response to a reference period notice moved by opposition CPI (M) MLA Moboshar Ali about the progress of work regarding upgradation of the two Land Custom Station (LCS) installations, Chief Minister Deb, who also holds charge of Industries and Commerce portfolio, said that permission for development of Muhurighat and Manughat LCS’s into an IDC was granted on May 04, 2016 by the Centre.
