Agartala: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Tripura later this month to inaugurate the renovated Tripura Sundari Temple in Udaipur.
According to officials, the Prime Minister will unveil and lay the foundation stones for a series of projects across various departments during his visit.
Although the final schedule has yet to be confirmed, the prime minister is likely to visit the state on September 22, ahead of the Durga Puja festivities.
As a preparatory measure, a delegation of senior officials comprising Chief Secretary J.K. Sinha, senior departmental secretaries, and Director General of Police Anurag inspected the temple site to review security and logistical arrangements.
Chief Minister Manik Saha is also scheduled to visit the premises on Sunday for a similar assessment, according to sources.
The temple, originally built in 1501 AD by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya, has recently undergone a major facelift under the Centre’s PRASAD and Swadesh Darshan schemes.
The renovation, costing Rs 51 crore, has added new facilities and modern infrastructure to enhance the pilgrimage experience while preserving the sanctity of the centuries-old shrine.
