AGARTALA: Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Wednesday inaugurated the third unit of the Rubber Thread Plant of the DS Group in Bodhjungnagar.
During the inauguration, the Chief Minister said the government is working to enhance commercialization of rubber in the state.
Addressing the inauguration event, Tripura Chief Minister stressed on the rural economy and said that the rubber plays a crucial role in enhancing the rural economy of the state.
Rs 21 crore was spent on setting up of the plant, from where the rubber threads will be exported to neighbouring Bangladesh, he said.
“There was no proper environment to grow business in the state by setting up industries and factories. It was after the establishment of the BJP-IPFT government that the industrialists are showing interest to invest in Tripura,” Dr Saha said.
