In a significant development that promises to alleviate the fuel shortage in Tripura, Chief Minister Manik Saha has extended his gratitude to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for the prompt dispatch of a fuel train to the state.
The move comes after a severe fuel crisis prompted urgent actions from both state and central governments. Addressing the media, Chief Minister Saha detailed the communication from the Union Railway Minister's office, which informed him of the train en route to Tripura. "Today, I received a call from the Secretary of the Union Railway Minister with an update regarding the letter I had sent about the fuel crisis. The Minister directed his secretary to inform me that a fuel-carrying train is now heading towards our state. This indeed is a relief and we are grateful," CM Saha said. He added, "The double-engine government always works to solve problems," referring to the cooperative efforts of the state and central government. Further reinforcing his message of gratitude, Saha tweeted about the successful crossing of the first POL (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants) rake through the landslide-affected site between Jatinga-Haranga, which had been disrupted since April 26. He noted, "Heartfelt thanks to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for swiftly addressing the issue. Big appreciation to the NFR (Northeast Frontier Railway) officials and workers for tirelessly restoring operations and to the people of Tripura for their cooperation. This rake will undoubtedly alleviate the fuel crisis in the state." The gesture by the Railway Ministry not only underscores the effective coordination between state and central governments but also highlights the critical role of the railway network in managing state-level crises. The arrival of the fuel train is expected to significantly stabilize the fuel supply and benefit the citizens of Tripura, easing the recent tensions caused by the shortage. (ANI)
