"The budget session of Tripura assembly would start on Friday and after a break, it would continue till March 15. The actual sittings of the session would be nine days," Debnath told reporters.

He said that Governor Tathagata Roy would deliver his customary address to the legislature on the opening day on Friday, while Finance Minister Bhanulal Saha would present the state Budget for the 2016-17 financial year on Monday.
