Tripura
will be connected to the Indian mainland by using the Srimantapur International
Port of Sonamura, India. The terminal of river port will be built temporarily
at this land port. A high-level delegation of the Central Shipping Ministry
took this decision after visiting the proposed river port area on December 2018.
It will be expanded if require after launch of the river port.
To
understand whether there is a need for digging somewhere in the Gomti River on
the Bangladesh side. A technical team of the India’s waterways authority will visit
Bangladesh next month. After this, the Gomti River in Tripura will be connected
to the inter-domestic waterway protocol. Sonamura will be directly connected to
Calcutta using the international waterway of Bangladesh.
Before
the start of Agartala National Road the Gomti River was the Life line of
Tripura and Asam. The economy of the capital of the state was depended on the Gumti
River. After the transfer of the capital, the economy was reducing the
importance of the river. It has been found that despite the development of
roadways, airways and railways for the last hundred years, the quality of the
river Gomti has been completely lost, it is evidently increasing.
The
roads, railways and airways that are not always helpful in the economic
development of the Tripura state, which are surrounded by three border lines.
So, in the meantime, the state government of India has stepped up to run the 100
years old life line of Gomti River again.
On
October 30, the Secretary of the Central Ship Ministry came to the state tour on
the purpose of visit the Queen Barrez. News about his commitment to the port of
Gomati river port given by the Minister of Banmandpur land port of Sonamura,
published in the North East Caller published on that day and for that the
Minister changed his tour schedule. He came to Shimantpur land port at Sonamura
with the district magistrate and the subdivision of Sonamura. After visiting
the place, he met with the Chief Minister of the state on the way to discuss
the issue of river port.
State's
Chief Minister Mr. Biplob Kumar Deb said that the State Government received
positive response from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari about the matter related to
Tripura. The Chief Minister also got a positive response here. The Indian Navy
has taken quick steps to implement the project involving the Indian waterways
by connecting Tripura by the river. A high-level delegation came to Sonamura,
within two months of visiting the Shrimantapur International Port.
The
visiting delegation visited the Gomati River in Shrimantapur International Port
area. National Water Resources Department, State Flood Control Department, and
the sub-divisional administration discussed the nature and the motion of Gomti.
While
finding a land for the construction of a river port terminal, Durgapur has been
provided with the main road, but the roadway has been blocked. Later,
representatives from Durgapur to Sonamura Agartala proposed a road construction
of a one and half kilometer long national standard road to Bhayakankar road.
Due to the mosque, madrasa and house, the land of the river port was not found
in Srimantpur. Later it was decided that the use of Srimantpur land port will
be as intersection: Tripura will be added to the inter-domestic waterway.
The
Sonamura river port will be opened with the permission of the customs
department to use the wire house here. The head of the high-level delegation of
the Central Ship Ministry, said that the Indian side along with Bangladesh has
international agreements to use the country's waterways. It includes Guwahati
and Karimganj with Kolkata. Now, the discussion involving Tripura Sonamura is
with Bangladesh. Next month, a technical team will go to Bangladesh to see how
the Gomati River is in the state.
If
digging is needed, then the government of India will dig it. When the ships are
coming to Sonamura? Rabindro Kumar Singh, joint director of the Central Ship
Ministry (Internal Waterways) Division, could not say anything correctly. He
said the inspection has just begun. Need to see the course of the river. The
two countries will made a contract. Then Tripura will be connected with the
Indian inter-domestic waterway.
Thanks a lot for reading.
