Kovind would land at the Agartala airport earlier in the day and leave for Udaipur, the headquarters of Gomati district 55 km from here, in a helicopter. He would inaugurate a 6 km long road from Udaipur town to Tripurasundari temple, considered one of the 51 Shaktipiths of the country, officials said.
The President would also visit the temple and offer Puja there before returning to the Rajbhavan here. The civic reception would be held at 6 pm. Kovind would return to Delhi the next morning, officials said.
