Finally the century old and much awaited dream of the people of the landlocked state came true when the first BG train was inaugurated with joy and enthusiasm from the end of the people.

With the resumption of train services, rush of passengers has been unprecedented. There is enough reason for passengers to prefer journey by train.

 In fact, there has been a sense of panic among the people of Tripura to travel by highway to Guwahati and beyond due to frequent fatal accidents on the most dangerous stretch of Sonapur in East Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya.

The people of Tripura in particular avoid the Churaibari-Badarpur stretch of NH 6 as the highway is almost non-existent. Even today, nearly a hundred vehicles, mostly goods laden trucks, are stranded from the entry point of Tripura to Patharkandi in Karimganj district.
