Tripura to develop golf course for tourism and youth

The Tripura government is planning to build a golf course in the state.

The Chief Minister, Manik Saha, said this will help attract tourists and create jobs for young people.

The golf course will also support the state's vision of being free from substance abuse, called 'Nasha Mukt Tripura'.

The golf course is located in Salbagan, near Agartala.

The BSF Inspector General, Aloke Kumar Chakraborty, mentioned that the natural landscape of Tripura is perfect for golf.

He also said that golf courses can make the real estate and hospitality sectors grow.

The golf event, called the Bharat Golf Mahotsav, started on September 17, 2024, and will end on January 12, 2025.

It is organized by the Golf Federation of India and involves many cities across India.

The event includes golf tournaments, tree planting, marathons, and promotes 'Make in India' and 'Viksit Bharat'.
