Agartala (Tripura) [India], February 23 (ANI): The construction of a state-of-the-art multi-level parking facility is underway in Agartala. This project is poised to address the growing traffic congestion in the city, marking a significant leap in urban infrastructure.
The facility, estimated to cost Rs 200 crore, will be an 11-story building, the first of its kind in the region. The ground and first floors are designed to accommodate around 400 cars and bikes, while an additional 80 vehicles can be parked in the front area. In total, the facility will provide space for over 400 vehicles, offering much-needed relief to Agartala's traffic woes.

The project's fast-paced progress reflects a strong commitment to enhancing infrastructure in Agartala, making it one of the most modern cities in the northeastern region.
Once completed, this parking facility will not only serve as a solution for the city's immediate needs but will also serve as a model for similar projects in other cities across the region. (ANI)
