Tripura is set to host a significant two-day North Eastern Council (NEC) meeting on August 31 and September 1, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in attendance. This marks the first NEC meeting since the formation of the BJP coalition government in Tripura and follows a regime change in Bangladesh, adding urgency to discussions on border issues and development projects. Chief Minister Manik Saha emphasized the meeting's importance for the Northeast, stating it will address pressing challenges and highlight innovative initiatives from the region. Governors and Chief Ministers from all eight northeastern states will be present, aiming for fruitful discussions and actionable outcomes.
