During the inauguration, which was attended by Bhattacharya and virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the MP emphasized the significance of this initiative in providing affordable medicines to the public, especially in remote areas.
In his address, Bhattacharjee also highlighted the ongoing improvements in rail connectivity in Tripura and the broader North Eastern region of India.
