AGARTALA, 18 Oct: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Tripura later this month and inaugurate dwelling units built under the PMAY, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Tuesday.
The prime minister will visit the state either on 27 October or the next day and hold a public rally here, besides laying the foundation stones of some projects, Saha told reporters here.
