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.

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.
