Agartala, June 1: In a significant step toward safeguarding animal health and strengthening rural livelihoods, the Department of Animal Resource Development (ARDD) on Monday launched a comprehensive Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccination programme at Dighalia Gram Panchayat under the Bamutia RD Block.
The vaccination campaign was formally inaugurated by Sudhangshu Das, Minister for Animal Resources Development, Fisheries and Scheduled Caste Welfare, who highlighted the critical need to protect livestock from Foot and Mouth Disease, one of the most contagious viral diseases affecting cattle and other cloven-hoofed animals.
Addressing farmers, livestock owners and local residents during the inauguration programme, the minister stressed that healthy livestock is the backbone of the rural economy and plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring income security for farming households.
“Livestock is a valuable asset for rural families. Protecting cattle from diseases like FMD is essential not only for animal welfare but also for sustaining the livelihoods of thousands of farmers and cattle rearers across the state,” Das said.
He explained that the vaccination drive aims to prevent outbreaks of Foot and Mouth Disease, which can severely affect animal productivity, reduce milk production, and lead to significant economic losses for farmers. By ensuring timely vaccination, the government seeks to create a healthier livestock population and minimize the risk of disease transmission.
The minister appealed to all livestock owners to actively participate in the campaign and cooperate with veterinary teams visiting villages and rural areas. “The success of this programme depends on collective participation. Together, we can build a healthy, safe and productive livestock sector that contributes to the prosperity of our rural communities,” he remarked.
Officials from the department informed that the vaccination programme is expected to cover a large number of cattle across the Bamutia block and surrounding areas. The initiative forms part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen veterinary healthcare services, improve disease surveillance, and enhance rural economic resilience through better livestock management.
Local farmers welcomed the launch of the programme and expressed optimism that the vaccination campaign would help protect their cattle from disease-related losses. Many said that timely vaccination would not only ensure healthier animals but also contribute to stable incomes and improved economic security for rural households.
The programme marks another important effort by the state government to promote sustainable livestock development and support the welfare of farming communities across Tripura.
Agartala, June 1: Frustration among homebuyers of the Light House housing project at Border Gol Chakkar spilled onto the streets on Monday as scores of beneficiaries staged a protest outside the office of the Tripura Urban Planning & Development Authority (TUDA), demanding immediate resolution of the long-delayed project.
The agitating customers alleged that despite repeated assurances from authorities, the promised flats have not been handed over even years after the original deadline. According to the protesters, possession was initially expected in 2022, but nearly five years have passed without any concrete progress toward completion.
Many beneficiaries claimed they had already paid substantial amounts in two or three installments, believing they would soon receive their homes. Instead, they say they have been left waiting indefinitely while construction work progresses at a sluggish pace.
“We invested our hard-earned savings with the dream of owning a home. Today, that dream has turned into a nightmare. We have been waiting for years, but there is still no certainty about when we will get our flats,” said one of the protesting buyers.
The protesters accused TUDA of making repeated commitments without delivering tangible results. They expressed growing disappointment over what they described as a lack of accountability and transparency regarding the project’s status.
The aggrieved buyers put forward a clear demand: either complete the project and hand over the flats at the earliest or refund the deposited money with interest. “If the authorities are unable to provide us with the promised homes, then our money should be returned immediately along with appropriate interest,” another beneficiary said.
Although TUDA officials have reportedly assured customers that the flats will be delivered by December 2026, many buyers remain unconvinced. Pointing to the current pace of construction, several protesters questioned whether the deadline could realistically be achieved.
“Looking at the present condition of the project, it seems unlikely that the work will be completed anytime soon. At this rate, we may have to wait several more years,” a protester remarked.
The beneficiaries also appealed directly to Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha to intervene in the matter and ensure justice for the affected families.
Warning of stronger agitation in the future, the protesters said they would intensify their movement if TUDA fails to meet its commitments, stressing that they can no longer afford to wait endlessly for either their homes or their money.
Ambassa, June 1: State Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma on Monday set an ambitious tone for Tripura’s textile and allied traditional sectors, calling for stronger efforts to take the state’s products to international markets. He was speaking after inaugurating the district-level consultative programme, “Textiles for Global Markets,” held at the Panchayat Raj Training Institute in Ambassa, Dhalai.
Debbarma, who lit the ceremonial lamp to formally open the event, highlighted the rich potential of Tripura’s handloom, handicrafts, bamboo, cane and sericulture products. He said these sectors are not only symbols of the state’s cultural identity but also important engines for rural livelihood generation and economic growth.
Addressing artisans, self-help groups, entrepreneurs and officials, the minister urged them to embrace modern technology, improve skill levels and maintain strict quality control so that local products can compete in global markets. He stressed that traditional craftsmanship must evolve in line with changing market demands without losing its heritage value.
“This is not just about preserving tradition; it is about converting heritage into opportunity. With collective effort, Tripura’s artisans can secure a place on the world stage while strengthening rural livelihoods,” Debbarma said.
The programme was organized by the Department of Handlooms, Handicrafts & Sericulture, Government of Tripura, as part of India’s larger target to achieve US$100 billion in textile exports by 2030. Officials said Tripura can contribute significantly to this national goal by building stronger market linkages, improving product design, and ensuring export readiness.
The consultative meet saw the participation of several dignitaries, including Susmita Das, Sabhadhipati of Dhalai Zilla Parishad; Pratima Malakar, Chairperson of Ambassa Municipal Council; Ajit Shukla Das, Director of the Department; and Van Lal Dika Darlong, Additional District Magistrate of Dhalai.
Discussions during the programme focused on product innovation, branding, export potential and strategies to align traditional industries with global market requirements. Officials underlined that such initiatives would not only boost exports but also empower local communities through sustainable employment and stronger rural incomes.
The event concluded with a renewed call for artisans and stakeholders to modernize practices while preserving Tripura’s distinctive textile identity, ensuring that the state’s heritage products emerge as a globally recognized brand.
Agartala, June 1: The Tripura Pradesh Congress and Youth Congress on Monday launched a sharp attack on the state government, alleging a deepening crisis in the sectors of education and employment. Citing findings from the NITI Aayog 2026 report, party leaders claimed that the state is witnessing rising school dropout rates, inadequate educational infrastructure, and worsening unemployment, particularly among the youth.
Addressing a press conference at the Pradesh Congress Bhavan in Agartala, Congress spokesperson Partha Acharya accused the government of failing to fulfill its promises to students and job seekers. He alleged that initiatives such as the Vidyajyoti scheme have not delivered the expected benefits, while financial burdens on students continue to increase.
“Education is becoming increasingly inaccessible to poor and marginalized families. Despite the provisions of the Right to Education Act, 2009, fees are still being collected in several schools. At the same time, dropout rates are increasing and teacher recruitment remains stalled,” Acharya said.
He further criticized the government’s vision of developing Tripura as an “education hub,” claiming that it is gradually paving the way for privatization rather than strengthening public education. Acharya also expressed concern over recurring examination irregularities, including question paper leaks and technical glitches in major competitive examinations such as NEET, SSC-GD, CUET, UPSC, and CBSE board examinations.
“The future of millions of students is being jeopardized by repeated failures in the examination system. Those responsible must be held accountable and exemplary action should be taken against them,” he stated.
Youth Congress president Neel Kamal Saha focused on the state’s employment situation, describing it as alarming. Referring to apprenticeship data, he said Tripura contributes less than 0.1 percent to national apprenticeship programmes, which he attributed to a lack of industrial growth and employment opportunities.
“Successive promises of industrial development have remained on paper. Factories never came, jobs were never created, and government employment remains the only hope for thousands of young people,” Saha said.
He noted that nearly 15,000 teachers have retired over the last seven to eight years, yet vacant posts remain unfilled. According to him, thousands of TET-qualified candidates continue to wait for appointments despite repeated assurances from the government.
The Congress leaders urged immediate intervention to fill teaching vacancies, stop fee collection in Vidyajyoti schools, and create meaningful employment opportunities, warning that failure to act could further weaken Tripura’s educational and economic future.
Teliamura, June 1: Responding to growing public concerns over severe waterlogging and drainage problems along the under-construction National Highway stretch between Icharbil and Korailong Chowmuhani, Tripura Legislative Assembly’s Chief Whip and Teliamura MLA Kalyani Saha Roy on Monday took proactive steps to address the issue and ensure relief for affected residents.
Speaking at a municipal-level meeting held at the Teliamura Municipal Council conference hall, Roy acknowledged the hardships faced by local people due to the ongoing highway construction work connecting Khowai and Agartala through Teliamura. She noted that the development activities have significantly disrupted traditional earthen drainage channels, leading to water accumulation in several residential areas during the ongoing monsoon season.
“With continuous rainfall, water is entering homes and inundating localities, causing immense difficulties for residents. The issue demands immediate attention and coordinated action from all concerned departments,” Roy said during the meeting.
Following the discussion, the MLA led a comprehensive field inspection of the affected areas. The inspection team included the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO), Executive Officer (EO), engineers from the Public Works Department (PWD), Drinking Water and Sanitation (DWS) Department, Water Resources Department, representatives from the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), and Siptech. The visit was also attended by the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Municipal Council, along with councillors.
During the on-site review, officials examined the extent of the drainage blockage and discussed several immediate and long-term solutions. Among the measures proposed was the construction of temporary earthen drains to facilitate the smooth flow of rainwater and prevent further flooding during the monsoon.
Roy emphasized that the administration and implementing agencies have already begun taking necessary steps to mitigate the problem. She instructed the concerned departments to work in close coordination and expedite relief measures.
“We are committed to resolving these issues at the earliest. People’s welfare remains our top priority, and no citizen should continue to suffer because of construction-related negligence or delays,” Roy asserted.
Residents welcomed the intervention and expressed hope that the proposed measures would bring much-needed relief from recurring waterlogging in the area
Agartala, June 1: Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Sunday said that the state government is working with sincerity and commitment to address the challenges faced by street vendors and ensure their socio-economic development through various welfare initiatives.
Addressing a benefit distribution programme under the PM SVANidhi scheme at Muktadhara Auditorium in Agartala, attended by Union Minister for Power, Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar, the Chief Minister highlighted the significant progress made under the flagship scheme aimed at empowering street vendors.
Dr. Saha said that street vendors play a vital role in the economy and have demonstrated remarkable financial discipline by embracing digital transactions and moving steadily towards self-reliance. He noted that the scheme has helped thousands of vendors access formal credit and improve their livelihoods.
Sharing details of the programme's implementation in Tripura, the Chief Minister informed that a total of 19,727 loan applications have been received under PM SVANidhi so far. Of these, 9,578 applications have been approved, leading to the disbursement of loans amounting to Rs 15.28 crore.
He further stated that nearly 5,000 beneficiaries have already repaid their loans, reflecting the success of the initiative and the sense of responsibility among the vendors. According to him, the repayment record demonstrates the positive impact of the scheme on strengthening financial inclusion and economic stability among small entrepreneurs.
The Chief Minister also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government for extending the PM SVANidhi scheme till March 31, 2030, along with enhanced loan provisions. He said the extension would provide continued support to street vendors and further strengthen their economic security.
Following the programme, the Chief Minister, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other dignitaries listened to the 134th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat at the auditorium, organized under Booth No. 11 of the Bordowali Assembly Constituency.
Agartala, June 1: Union Minister for Power, Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar received a warm welcome upon his arrival at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala on Sunday. State Power and Agriculture Minister Ratan Lal Nath greeted the Union Minister on behalf of the Tripura government and welcomed him to the state.
Describing the visit as a significant occasion for Tripura, Nath said that the state was honored to host the Union Minister on the sacred land of Mata Tripura Sundari. He expressed confidence that Khattar’s visit would create new opportunities for strengthening the power sector and accelerating the state’s overall development.
Khattar’s visit to Tripura forms part of his three-day tour of the eastern and northeastern region, which also includes Mizoram and West Bengal. The visit underscores the Centre’s focus on enhancing infrastructure and development initiatives in the region.
Soon after his arrival, the Union Minister participated in programmes marking the sixth anniversary of the Prime Minister Street Vendor’s AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) scheme. During the event, he interacted with beneficiaries from across the Northeastern states and reviewed the impact of the flagship scheme on improving the livelihoods of street vendors.
Later, Khattar held a series of meetings with senior officials of the Tripura government and the Power Department.

Agartala: In a significant boost to higher technical education in Tripura, the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT), Agartala, has announced the launch of two new B.Tech programmes in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the academic session 2026–27.
According to an official release, each of the new courses will have an intake capacity of 60 students. The programmes have been introduced with the objective of equipping young aspirants with advanced knowledge and practical skills in emerging areas of computing, automation, and data-driven technologies. The move is expected to create new academic and professional opportunities for students in Tripura and the wider Northeast.
Admissions to the new courses will be conducted through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process as well as through NIELIT’s own entrance examination, ensuring multiple avenues for eligible candidates to secure seats in the institute.
NIELIT Agartala, which functions under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, already offers several academic programmes, including Diploma in Computer Science and Technology, Diploma in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), and M.Tech in Data Engineering. With the addition of these AI and ML-oriented B.Tech programmes, the institute aims to strengthen its position as a leading centre for modern technical education in the region.
Officials also pointed out that Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students enrolled at NIELIT are exempted from paying tuition fees, a measure intended to improve access to higher education for students from marginalized communities.
The announcement comes at a time when demand for professionals with expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is growing rapidly across sectors such as information technology, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and digital services. By introducing these specialised courses, NIELIT Agartala seeks to align its academic offerings with the country’s expanding digital transformation agenda.
Education observers believe the new programmes will not only benefit students in Tripura but may also attract aspiring engineers from other northeastern states, further boosting the region’s standing in India’s technology and innovation landscape.
Agartala, June 1: The Tripura Guerrilla Returnees’ Demand Committee has announced an indefinite blockade of the Assam–Agartala National Highway and railway tracks beginning June 5, alleging prolonged government inaction on their long-pending rehabilitation demands.
The announcement was made during a press conference where committee leaders expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of response from the administration despite repeated representations. They stated that the agitation had become unavoidable as their concerns remained unresolved for years.
The committee has placed a five-point charter of demands before the government. Key among these are the immediate revival of a Rs 23 crore rehabilitation package and the withdrawal of pending legal cases against former militants who surrendered before 1998 and subsequently returned to mainstream society. The returnees argue that these measures are essential for ensuring their social and economic rehabilitation.
Speaking at the press conference, one of the committee members recalled that the rehabilitation initiative was launched nearly two decades ago. According to him, the then state government approved a Rs 45 crore rehabilitation project on May 22, 2007, aimed at providing permanent settlement and socio-economic support to surrendered militants. The programme was implemented from 2008 and continued until 2018.
However, the project reportedly came to a standstill following a change in government and later due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Committee leaders claimed that nearly Rs 22 crore of the sanctioned amount had already been utilized before the programme was halted, while the remaining funds remained unspent.
The returnees are demanding that the government revive the rehabilitation scheme and utilize the balance amount to complete the unfinished work. “We have repeatedly approached the administration and submitted our grievances, but no concrete action has been taken. Therefore, we have decided to launch an indefinite blockade from June 5,” a committee representative said.
The proposed agitation is expected to significantly affect connectivity in Tripura, as both the Assam–Agartala National Highway and railway routes serve as the state’s primary lifelines to the rest of the country. Any disruption could impact transportation, trade, passenger movement, and the supply of essential commodities.
Notably, the announcement coincides with the scheduled visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Tripura on June 5, during which he is expected to review border security and infrastructure along the India–Bangladesh frontier.
Khowai, Tripura, May 2026: The Khowai district administration on Saturday conducted a high-level review meeting to assess preparedness for the upcoming visit of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, who is scheduled to arrive in Tripura on June 5.
The meeting was held at the Conference Hall of the District Magistrate and Collector’s office and was chaired by District Magistrate and Collector Rajat Pant. Senior officials, including the Additional District Magistrate (PP), Superintendent of Police, Khowai, and representatives from various government departments, attended the meeting to review arrangements and coordinate plans for the high-profile visit.
During the meeting, officials presented updated reports and departmental data related to border management, security infrastructure and administrative preparedness. Detailed discussions were held on issues concerning the India-Bangladesh international border, with special focus on strengthening coordination among agencies responsible for border security and development.
Officials reviewed the status of security arrangements, border infrastructure, surveillance systems and logistical support mechanisms. Particular attention was given to sensitive stretches of the border that may require additional monitoring and intervention. The administration emphasized the need for timely execution of all preparatory measures to ensure smooth conduct of the Union Home Minister’s visit.
Amit Shah’s upcoming visit is considered significant as he is expected to personally assess the security infrastructure along Tripura’s 856-kilometre-long international border with Bangladesh. His itinerary reportedly includes inspections of barbed-wire fencing, surveillance networks and other ground-level security installations in vulnerable areas.
The Union Home Minister is also expected to interact with personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF), state police officials and district administration representatives. These interactions will focus on evaluating existing security arrangements, identifying operational challenges and exploring measures to further strengthen border management.
Officials attending the review meeting underscored the importance of seamless inter-departmental coordination to ensure all arrangements are completed well before the visit. They noted that the inspection by the Union Home Minister would provide an opportunity to highlight both achievements and challenges related to border security in the state.
The visit is being viewed as a key initiative aimed at reinforcing national security, enhancing border infrastructure and improving coordination among security agencies operating along the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura. The district administration has assured that all necessary preparations are being undertaken to ensure a successful and productive visit.
Agartala, May 2026: In a major step towards technology-driven forest governance, the Forest Department of Tripura, under the Tripura JICA Project (SCATFORM), launched the Forestry Integrated Geospatial Solution (FIGS), an advanced GIS and MIS-enabled digital platform designed to strengthen scientific forest management, natural resource planning and livelihood development across the state.
The platform was inaugurated at Pragna Bhawan by Forests, Science and Technology Minister Animesh Debbarma in the presence of Principal Secretary (Forests) and Principal Chief Conservator of Forests & Head of Forest Force R.K. Samal, IFS, senior forest officials, project representatives and stakeholders.
Addressing the gathering, Debbarma emphasized that technology and nature must work together to ensure sustainable development. He noted that modern tools such as satellite monitoring, GIS-based analysis, drones, mobile applications and digital dashboards are transforming forest management by enabling real-time monitoring, accurate planning and improved conservation outcomes. He stressed that Tripura should emerge as a leader in adopting innovative technologies for environmental protection and community development.
The Minister highlighted that forests are deeply connected to the culture, heritage and livelihoods of Tripura’s people. He said nearly 70 percent of the state is under forest cover, making data-driven planning essential for improving the livelihoods of forest-dependent communities. Through FIGS, officials will be able to identify suitable livelihood opportunities such as fisheries, livestock, agroforestry, bamboo enterprises and eco-tourism based on local geography and resource availability.
Developed on a secure open-source architecture, FIGS integrates GIS mapping, remote sensing, mobile geo-tagging, field data collection, dashboards, approval systems and analytical tools. The platform is expected to enhance transparency, accountability and evidence-based decision-making while enabling real-time monitoring of forestry and livelihood interventions.
As part of the programme, 300 mobile devices were distributed to project officials and field staff to facilitate geo-tagging, field data collection and monitoring of plantations, nurseries, water conservation structures and livelihood assets. Awards were also presented to top-performing districts, subdivisions, ranges and field personnel for their contributions to data collection and updation under the FIGS platform.
Four publications highlighting the achievements of the SCATFORM project were released during the event. The programme also included the felicitation of Santanu Chakraborty, President of Neo Geo Info Tech Ltd., for his contribution to the development and implementation of the FIGS platform.
The launch of FIGS marks a significant milestone in Tripura’s efforts to modernise forest governance, strengthen climate resilience and improve livelihood security through technology-enabled solutions.
Agartala, May 29: In a compassionate humanitarian gesture, Kalyanpur MLA Pinaki Das Choudhury has extended financial assistance to the family of a critically ill student from South Singichhara under the 25-Khowai constituency, offering support for his ongoing kidney treatment.
The beneficiary, 17-year-old Abhijit Sarkar, son of auto driver Anuranjan Sarkar, has been battling a severe kidney ailment and is currently undergoing dialysis. According to family members, doctors have advised advanced treatment outside the state, but mounting medical expenses and financial hardship had left the family struggling to continue treatment.
With limited resources and growing uncertainty, the family approached MLA Pinaki Das Choudhury at his residence seeking help. Moved by the condition of the young student and the family’s difficulties, the MLA handed over a cheque of Rs 75,000 from his personal honorarium to support the treatment expenses.
Speaking on the occasion, Das Choudhury said public representatives have a moral responsibility to stand beside people during times of crisis and hardship.
“As public representatives, it is our moral and human duty to help people in distress. Abhijit is a bright and meritorious science student, and I sincerely pray for his speedy recovery so that he can return to a normal life and continue his studies,” the MLA said.
He further assured the family that he would continue to extend all possible support in the future if required. The MLA also remarked that true public service lies not only in participating in celebrations but in standing with people during their most difficult moments.
The gesture has received widespread appreciation from local residents and community members, many of whom described it as an example of empathy and responsible leadership. Locals noted that the MLA’s willingness to assist a family outside his immediate constituency reflects a broader commitment to humanitarian values beyond political boundaries.
Residents and well-wishers also expressed hope for Abhijit’s recovery and praised the initiative as an act that strengthens trust and emotional connection between public representatives and the community.
The family members thanked the MLA for his timely support and said the assistance would help them continue the treatment process with renewed hope.
Agartala, May 29: In a major organisational development for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tripura, Matabari MLA Abhishek Debroy on Friday formally assumed charge as the new president of the party’s state unit, succeeding former state president and Rajya Sabha MP Rajib Bhattacharjee.
The ceremonial transition took place at the BJP state headquarters in Agartala in the presence of Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, senior office bearers and a large number of party workers and supporters.
During the programme, Chief Minister Saha and outgoing president Rajib Bhattacharjee symbolically seated Debroy in the president’s chair, officially marking the transfer of leadership within the party’s state organisation.
Addressing party workers after assuming office, Debroy said he would work towards strengthening the BJP’s organisational structure across Tripura while remaining committed to the party’s ideology and principles.
“Our motto is ‘Nation First and Self Last’. I will work by respecting senior leaders, learning from their experience and involving young workers to energise the organisation at the grassroots,” Debroy said.
He stressed the importance of unity within the organisation and called upon party workers to remain dedicated to public service and development-oriented politics. Debroy also urged the media to highlight the welfare initiatives and developmental works undertaken by the government.
“I request the media to take the welfare-oriented and development works of this government to the people through responsible reporting,” he added.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha expressed confidence that the party would become stronger under Debroy’s leadership. He praised outgoing president Rajib Bhattacharjee for his contribution to strengthening the organisation during his tenure and recalled his own experience of previously serving as state BJP president.
“Leadership change is part of our party’s tradition. Soon, a new state committee and Morcha committees will be formed, which will further rejuvenate the organisation and motivate workers,” Saha said.
The Chief Minister also stated that Debroy’s responsibilities would include strengthening the party’s grassroots base and preparing the organisation for the 2028 Assembly elections.
Political observers view the appointment of Debroy, a young legislator, as an attempt by the BJP leadership to inject fresh energy into the party organisation, bridge generational gaps and reinforce the party’s presence across Tripura.
Agartala, May 29: Ahead of the politically crucial Village Council elections in Tripura’s tribal areas, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday formally handed over the charge of its state unit to newly appointed president Abhishek Debroy, signalling a renewed organisational push focused on youth leadership and grassroots mobilisation.
The transition took place at the BJP state headquarters in Agartala in the presence of Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, former state president and Rajya Sabha MP Rajib Bhattacharjee, BJP Tripura in-charge Rajdeep Roy and other senior leaders.
Debroy, considered one of the younger faces in the party’s state leadership, rose through the organisational ranks from mandal leadership to district president before becoming MLA from Matabari constituency. His appointment comes at a crucial time for the ruling BJP as the long-pending Village Council elections in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) region are expected within the next two months following Supreme Court directions.
The upcoming elections are being viewed as a significant political challenge for both the BJP organisation and Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, particularly after the party’s poor performance in the previous TTAADC elections where ally TIPRA Motha emerged dominant in the tribal belt.
After officially assuming charge, Debroy stressed that the BJP stands for “social transformation” rather than merely seeking political power. He called for strengthening the organisation by taking all sections of workers together.
“We are one BJP family. Our party believes in social change and nation-building,” Debroy said, adding that the party’s guiding principle of “Nation First, Self Last” should reach the grassroots level.
He also highlighted the need to honour senior party workers while encouraging greater youth participation in the organisation. “Senior karyakartas built the party with sacrifice and dedication, and they deserve respect. At the same time, younger workers must be encouraged to come forward,” he said.
Rejecting speculation about internal factionalism, Debroy maintained that organisational issues, if any, should be resolved collectively to strengthen the party.
Chief Minister Manik Saha described Debroy as a hardworking and capable organiser who climbed the party ladder through dedication and grassroots work. He expressed confidence that under Debroy’s leadership the BJP would emerge stronger and more organised in the state.
Saha also said promoting young leadership would bring fresh energy into the organisation and help the party effectively communicate the government’s developmental and welfare initiatives to the people.
With the politically sensitive tribal polls approaching, Debroy’s elevation is being seen as the BJP central leadership’s effort to inject fresh energy into the organisation and regain lost political ground in Tripura’s tribal areas.
Tripura is preparing to host a major business conclave in July, with the state government expecting investment proposals worth nearly Rs 40,000 crore. Officials believe the event could mark a significant milestone in Tripura’s industrial and economic growth by attracting both domestic and international investors.
Industries and Commerce Secretary Kiran Gitte said the conclave reflects Tripura’s growing reputation as a reform-oriented and investor-friendly state. According to him, Tripura has become the first state in the country to complete all priority reforms under the Centre’s deregulation and compliance reduction programme. These reforms have streamlined industrial clearances and simplified approval procedures, making it easier for businesses to invest in the state.
Highlighting the progress made in recent years, Gitte informed that since 2022, the state has signed 394 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) involving proposed investments of around Rs 35,140 crore. Out of these, projects worth Rs 5,352 crore have already been implemented on the ground.
The upcoming conclave is expected to build further momentum by showcasing investment opportunities across several key sectors. These include information technology, agro-processing, bamboo-based industries, handicrafts, tourism, food processing, and rubber-based industries. Officials believe Tripura’s strategic location and improving infrastructure make it an attractive destination for industrial expansion.
To support industrial development, the state government is investing nearly Rs 10,000 crore in infrastructure projects, including roads, transport, logistics, and connectivity upgrades. Roadshows have already been organised in several metropolitan cities to promote Tripura as a promising investment hub.
A major focus of the conclave will also be on cross-border trade and international connectivity. Gitte expressed optimism that the Maitri Setu, connecting Sabroom in Tripura with Ramgarh in Bangladesh, will become operational soon. Once functional, the bridge is expected to significantly enhance trade opportunities and improve access to international markets.
Officials say the business conclave is not only aimed at attracting fresh investments but also at generating employment opportunities and increasing Tripura’s contribution to the national economy. The state government hopes the initiative will open a new chapter in Tripura’s economic journey and strengthen its position as an emerging industrial destination in the Northeast.
Media has always been the lens through which societies view themselves. It reflects triumphs, failures, aspiration...
Media has always been the lens through which societies view themselves. It reflects triumphs, failures, aspirations, and anxieties. In the 21st century, however, the lens has become a kaleidoscope—fragmented, colorful, and constantly shifting. From handwritten newspapers to algorithm‑driven feeds, the journey of media is a story of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of connection.
The Historical Evolution of MediaPrint Era: The invention of the printing press in the 15th century democratized knowledge. Newspapers became the backbone of information exchange, shaping revolutions and reforms.
Radio & Television: The 20th century introduced mass communication. Radio brought voices into homes, while television added visuals, creating shared cultural experiences.
Digital Dawn: The late 20th century saw the internet revolution. Suddenly, information was no longer bound by geography or time.
The Rise of Television and Mass CommunicationTelevision became the dominant medium in the mid‑20th century. It wasn’t just entertainment—it was education, propaganda, and cultural glue. Events like the moon landing or the fall of the Berlin Wall were experienced collectively, shaping global consciousness.
The Digital Revolution: Internet and Social MediaThe internet disrupted traditional media. Blogs, forums, and later social media platforms gave individuals the power to publish instantly. Information became decentralized. Facebook, Twitter (now X), Instagram, and TikTok transformed not only how news spread but also how identities were constructed.
Citizen Journalism and Democratization of InformationSmartphones turned ordinary people into reporters. A protest, a natural disaster, or a political rally could be broadcast live by anyone. This democratization empowered marginalized voices but also blurred the line between professional journalism and opinion.
Challenges: Fake News, Misinformation, and Credibility. The speed of digital media created vulnerabilities.Ethics remain the cornerstone of journalism. Accuracy, fairness, and accountability are more important than ever. Media houses must balance commercial pressures with their duty to inform responsibly.
Case Studies:Media is no longer a passive mirror—it is an active participant in shaping society. The challenge ahead is to harness its power responsibly, ensuring that speed does not compromise truth, and connectivity does not erode credibility.

Ampi, May 29: The worldwide massacre of Covid-19 is unabated till the date. It is the biggest challenge for all the states including the northeast state Tripura also how to prevent this unseen killer foe immediately. The globe is trembling due to this constant massacre. The govt. is generating various precautionary measures but unless the public cooperate in implementation all these initiatives there will not be proper consequence. We have to approach unitedly with the administration to prevent this pandemic and save our country men.
Prevent covid 19: How to protect yourself from the corona virus?
Follow these simple precautions to reduce your chances of contracting covid19. The covid-19 pandemic has been a part of our daily lives since March 2020. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. As the vaccines continue their roll out, here are the simple steps you can take to help prevent the spread of covid-19 and protect yourself and others.
Know how it spreads:
Scientists are still learning about covid-19, the disease caused by the corona virus, but according to the CDC, this highly contagious virus appears to be most commonly spread during close (within 6 feet) person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets.
The means of transmission can be through respiratory droplets produced when a person coughs or sneezes, or by direct physical contact with an infected person, such as shaking hands, hugging or embracing.
The CDC also notes that covid-19 can spread by airborne transmission, although this is less common than close contact with a person. Some infections can be spread by exposure to virus in small droplets and particles that can linger in the air for minutes to hours. These viruses may be able to infect people who are further than 6 feet away from the person who is infected or after that person has left the space. These transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation.
Finally, it's possible for corona virus to spread through contaminated surfaces, but this is also less likely. As per to the CDC based on data from lab studies on covid-19 and what we know about similar respiratory diseases, it may be possible that a person can get covid-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this isn't thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Practice social distancing
Since close person-to-person contact appears to be the main source of transmission, social distancing remains a key way to mitigate spread. The CDC recommends maintaining a distance of approximately 6 feet from others in public places. This distance will help you avoid direct contact with respiratory droplets produced by coughing or sneezing.
In addition, studies have found that outdoor settings with enough space to distance and good ventilation will reduce risk of exposure.Wash your hands Practicing good hygiene is an important habit that helps prevent the spread of covid-19.
Make these CDC recommendations part of your routine:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
It's especially important to wash:
Before eating or preparing food, Before touching your face,After using the restroom,After leaving a public place, After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, After handling your mask,After changing a diaper,After caring for someone who's sick, After touching animals or pets.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands with the sanitizer and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Visit the CDC website for guidelines on how to properly wash your hands and use hand sanitizer. And see our video below on how soap kills the corona virus. There's plenty of science behind this basic habit. Soap molecules disrupt the fatty layer or coat surrounding the virus. Once the viral coat is broken down, the virus is no longer able to function.
In addition to hand-washing, disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, counter tops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
Wear a mask
Face masks have become essential accessories in protecting yourself and others from contracting covid-19. The CDC recommends that people wear face coverings in public settings, especially since studies have shown that individuals with the novel corona virus could be asymptomatic or presymptomatic. Face masks are designed to provide a barrier between your airway and the outside world. By wearing a mask that covers your mouth and nose, you will reduce the risk of serving as the source of disease spread by trapping your own droplets in the mask, and also reduce the risk of getting sick via droplets that contain the corona virus by blocking access to your own airways.
Restrict your travel
Traveling can increase the spread of covid-19 and put you at risk for contracting the disease. The CDC recommends avoiding non-essential travel to many international destinations during the pandemic. It also advises people to weigh the risks when it comes to domestic travel. Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading covid-19 states the CDC. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from covid-19.
For people at risk for the complications of covid-19, such as those with underlying medical conditions or those who are older, it's prudent to avoid travel.
If you must travel, take safety measures, consider your mode of transportation, and stay up to date on the restrictions that are in place at your destination. Adhering to your state's quarantine rules after traveling will help prevent the spread of covid-19.
Watch for symptoms
The symptoms of infection for the coronavirus are often similar to those of other respiratory virus infections, such as influenza. Symptoms can include: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea etc.
With the covid-19 pandemic now coinciding with flu season, it's important to recognize the differences in symptoms — as well as get a flu shot. The medical community is concerned that if we have an increased number of influenza cases, it will strain the hospital system on top of what's already going on with the covid-19 pandemic.If you think you may have been exposed to a person with covid-19 and have symptoms, call ahead to a doctor's office to see if you can get tested.
All kinds of precautionary measures imposed by the administration should be obeyed with most care. In Tripura specially in rural areas people are Innocent, they have no idea over this infection tendency so various kinds of precautionary awareness must be generated amidst those villagers to prevent this covid-19 infection immediately.

There are so many cultural heritage sites in angry city, but in Tripura there is one such Cemetery that has remained for a very long time now, extending from the time period of Royals.
To be exact, Tripura is very rich in culture since all kinds of people have lived there from the beginning of time, if we are to start from the British Raj. It is often said that the history of India started to take a different shape. However, surviving even that time periodwere certain kingdoms that have flourished all over the state and ruled prominently with great vigour and enthusiasm.
Since everything has to come to an end, even the Kingdom of Tripura was slowly declining and along with them went the Kings. To respect every individual King and to carry on his story even in the future to be told, they were buried in a particular Royal Cemetery that was built to hold them particularly.
Covered in beautiful engravings and monumental headstones are the graves of these kingdoms, which have still left a surviving heir up till today. Currently in extreme Redstone texture lies the long forgotten history of one Kingdom almost in shambles and covered in overgrowth.Does it not deserve attention enough to be taken care of? Shouldn’t the historical evidence be protected by not just the people of the state, but also by the government officials particularly?
Pranab Kr Nath, a popular artist and actor from North eastern India, native to the state Tripura had once come upon this Cemetery while looking for the perfect location to shoot.On noticing the state in which the Royal grounds have been left in, he realised the amount of cultural damage that was already done by the extreme deterioration. According to him, it is not just worth historical and Royal significance, but also stands out as a spot in the state which can be a breeding ground of tourists and even historians from all over the country provided that the conditions are maintained. What conditions one might wonder.
Just like important pillars, temples and places related to historical background are protected specifically under the direction of a government body, this Royal Cemetery in Tripura should also be brought under such circumstances so that this Cemetery can not only be cleaned but also remodeled in order to pay tribute to all those Royals who served them. Expressing his grievances, Pranab Kr Nath realised the necessity of preserving such locations. With a much more rich background and brimming with culture is this Raj Cemetery.Hopes of refining this area are pretty high.
