Tripura is gearing up for a high-profile visit as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Agartala on September 22 for a day-long tour that includes multiple public engagements, inaugurations, and strategic meetings. The northeastern state is abuzz with preparations, and security has been significantly tightened across key zones in anticipation of the Prime Minister’s arrival.
This visit marks PM Modi’s first trip to Tripura in 2025 and comes at a time when the state is witnessing rapid infrastructural development and political consolidation under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Prime Minister is expected to address a mega rally at Swami Vivekananda Maidan, inaugurate several central and state-funded projects, and hold closed-door discussions with top officials and party leaders.
According to official sources, over 3,000 security personnel have been deployed across Agartala, including paramilitary forces, Tripura State Rifles, and intelligence units. Drone surveillance, anti-sabotage checks, and multi-layered barricading have been implemented around the rally venue and key transit routes. Special commandos have been stationed at the airport, VIP guest houses, and strategic junctions to ensure foolproof security.

The rally at Swami Vivekananda Maidan is expected to draw over 50,000 attendees, with BJP cadres mobilizing support from all eight districts. The Prime Minister is likely to highlight the Centre’s achievements in Tripura, including the expansion of road connectivity, digital infrastructure, and tribal welfare schemes. He is also expected to announce new initiatives under the PM-DevINE (Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East) program.
Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha has been personally overseeing the arrangements. In a press briefing, he stated, “We are honored to host the Prime Minister. His visit is a testament to Tripura’s growing importance in the national development narrative. All departments are working in coordination to ensure a smooth and impactful event.”
The visit also carries political significance. With the 2026 Tripura Assembly elections on the horizon, PM Modi’s presence is seen as a morale booster for the BJP, which aims to consolidate its hold in the region. The opposition, led by CPI(M) and Congress, has criticized the visit as a “political spectacle,” but BJP leaders maintain that the focus is on development and governance.
Security agencies have issued advisories to residents, urging them to avoid congested areas and cooperate with law enforcement. Traffic diversions have been announced for key roads, and drone surveillance will monitor crowd movement. Emergency medical teams, fire services, and disaster response units are on standby.

Local businesses and citizens have expressed excitement over the visit. “It’s a proud moment for Tripura. We hope the Prime Minister’s presence brings more investment and attention to our state,” said Ranjita Debbarma, a local entrepreneur from West Tripura.
The Tripura government has also launched a cleanliness and beautification drive across Agartala, with roads being repainted, public parks cleaned, and cultural banners installed. Schools and colleges have been asked to remain closed for the day to ease traffic and ensure safety.
Political analysts believe that PM Modi’s visit will serve multiple objectives—strengthening BJP’s grassroots connect, showcasing development milestones, and reinforcing national integration in the Northeast. His speech at the rally is expected to touch upon key national issues, including economic growth, border security, and youth empowerment.
The Prime Minister’s visit comes amid heightened geopolitical focus on the Northeast, with Tripura emerging as a gateway to Southeast Asia under the Act East Policy. The inauguration of new highway projects and trade corridors is expected to boost cross-border commerce with Bangladesh and improve regional logistics.
As the clock ticks down to September 22, Tripura stands ready to welcome its most high-profile guest with a blend of tradition, security, and anticipation. The day promises to be a landmark in the state’s political and developmental journey.
