In his address, Shri Nallu congratulated the people of Tripura, Manipur, and Meghalaya for their progress since attaining statehood.

Tripura’s journey to statehood is a fascinating one. The state has a rich history, with the Twipra Kingdom ruling for centuries ¹. After India gained independence in 1947, Tripura became a Part C state, and later a Union Territory, before finally achieving full statehood in 1972 . Today, Tripura continues to grow and develop, fostering strong relationships with its neighboring states.
