Agartala:
Tripura’s power sector achieved a major milestone as the Tripura State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) became the only institution in Northeast India to receive the prestigious ISO/IEC 27001:2022 cyber security certification. The achievement marks a significant step in strengthening the security of the state’s power system against growing cyber threats and protecting critical digital infrastructure.
The accomplishment was announced by Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath during the 22nd Foundation Day celebration of the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) held in Agartala. The Minister said the certification aligns with the directives of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), which has made cyber security compliance mandatory for all SLDCs across the country to safeguard the national power grid.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification was awarded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, after successful rectification of observations raised during the STQC-led system surveillance audit. The upgrades included biometric access controls, robust user identity management, intelligent threat detection systems, VESDA-based smoke detection, and enhanced physical security measures.
Reflecting on Tripura’s power journey, Nath said that although TSECL was established in 2004, electricity generation in the state dates back to 1937 during the royal era with diesel engines. Since 2005, the corporation has evolved into a modern power utility. The number of consumers has increased from 3.9 lakh in 2005 to nearly 15.7 lakh today, supported by massive infrastructure expansion including 132 kV and 33 kV substations and transmission networks.
Emphasising that “power is the foundation of development,” the Minister highlighted reforms such as online load-shedding management, smart meters, transparent billing, digital payment systems, 24×7 call centres, and rapid fault repair services.
Outlining future plans, Nath said Tripura aims to meet rising demand through gas-based, solar, and hydro projects. Key initiatives include the 120 MW combined cycle project at Rokhia, revival of the Gomati hydro power station, an 800 MW pump storage project, and large-scale solar expansion. He also announced underground cabling in Agartala Municipal areas, live-line maintenance, drone-based fault detection, and solar installations in hospitals and educational institutions.
The event was attended by Power Secretary Abhishek Singh, Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission Chairman Hemant Verma, TSECL Managing Director Biswajit Basu, and other senior officials.

On his 112th birth anniversary, we pay our deepest respect to his memory. His legacy reminds us of the transformative power of literature in shaping society,” the Minister stated.
Das further emphasized that the Government of Tripura is committed to preserving and promoting the literary works of Advaita Mallabarman so that future generations can understand and appreciate his immense contribution to Bengali literature and culture. He added that observing such anniversaries is a way of reaffirming collective responsibility towards upholding the values of equality, justice, and humanity that Mallabarman passionately portrayed in his writings.
Advaita Mallabarman is best known for his timeless novel Titas Ekti Nadir Naam, a classic that poignantly captures the life, culture, and struggles of the marginalized fishing community along the banks of the river Titas. His literary works remain a powerful chronicle of human suffering, endurance, and hope.
The commemorative programme concluded with reflections on Mallabarman’s life and legacy, underscoring his lasting influence on Bengali literature and social thought.

The event witnessed the presence of authors, publishers, academicians, literary enthusiasts, and distinguished guests, turning the occasion into a celebration of literature and intellectual pursuit.
During the programme, the Governor formally released the newly published book amid applause from the audience. Addressing the gathering, Governor Nallu highlighted the importance of books in shaping society and nurturing informed, thoughtful citizens. He remarked that books play a crucial role in preserving knowledge, culture, and values while also inspiring critical thinking and creativity among readers.
The Governor appreciated the efforts of PR Publication for promoting literary activities and providing a platform for writers to share their work with a wider audience. He noted that such initiatives contribute significantly to enriching the literary landscape of the state and encouraging young and emerging writers to express their ideas through meaningful writing.
Emphasising the relevance of reading in the digital age, Governor Nallu said that despite the growing influence of technology and social media, books continue to remain a powerful medium for learning and self-reflection. He encouraged students and young readers to cultivate the habit of reading, stating that it broadens perspectives and strengthens intellectual discipline.
The author of the book briefly spoke about the inspiration behind the publication and expressed gratitude to the Governor for his presence and encouragement. Representatives of PR Publication also addressed the gathering, sharing their vision of promoting quality literature and supporting creative voices from different backgrounds.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks, followed by an interactive session among writers, readers, and guests. The book release ceremony at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan reaffirmed the state’s growing engagement with literary and cultural activities and underscored the enduring value of books in society.
Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu ushered in the New Year with warmth and joy by celebrating the occasion along with children and employees at Lok Bhavan. The New Year celebration was marked by a spirit of togetherness, compassion, and hope, reflecting the Governor’s message of unity and social harmony.
The event witnessed the participation of children from various backgrounds, including those from child care institutions, who were invited to share the festive moment at the Raj Bhavan. Governor Nallu interacted affectionately with the children, exchanged greetings, and encouraged them to pursue education, discipline, and moral values to build a brighter future.

The Governor’s gesture of celebrating the New Year with children and staff was widely appreciated, as it highlighted his people-centric approach and concern for all sections of society.
In his message, Governor Nallu expressed hope that the New Year would bring peace, prosperity, and good health to the people of Tripura. He also called upon citizens to work collectively for social welfare, mutual respect, and inclusive development.
The New Year celebration at Lok Bhavan stood as a meaningful reminder that festivals and special occasions are best celebrated by spreading happiness, kindness, and a sense of belonging among all.
The 44th edition of the Agartala Book Fair is all set to commence on January 2 at the Hapania International Fair Ground, marking a 13-day celebration of books, culture, and intellectual exchange. The fair will be officially inaugurated by Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha in the presence of other dignitaries. This year’s event is themed around the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, as announced by Director of the Information and Cultural Affairs (ICA) Department, Bimbisar Bhattacharjee, on Thursday.
With just a day remaining before the inauguration, preparations are in full swing at the venue. Publishers and booksellers from Tripura as well as various other states have begun arriving to set up stalls. The fair continues to be a much-awaited event for book lovers across the state, who look forward to the annual gathering as a festival of bibliomania and cultural engagement.
However, sources noted that the increasing popularity of e-commerce platforms has had an adverse impact on book fairs in recent years. Online portals often offer books at attractive discounts, drawing avid readers to digital purchases. Despite this, book fairs retain their unique charm by offering readers an opportunity to physically browse books, interact with authors and publishers, and celebrate reading as a shared cultural experience. The fair is also viewed as a broader celebration of wisdom, creativity, and knowledge.
According to Bhattacharjee, the number of stalls this year is expected to surpass last year’s count. “Last year, 180 stalls were set up. This year, we have already received applications for over 183 stalls,” he said. A wide range of cultural programmes will be organised throughout the fair, with separate time slots allocated for indigenous artists and classical performers.
Regarding international participation, Bhattacharjee stated that no applications have been received from Bangladeshi publishers since last year. In earlier editions, publishing houses from Bangladesh regularly participated. He added that ongoing political instability in Bangladesh since August 2024, following a student-led uprising and subsequent political changes, has affected bilateral ties, which may have influenced their absence from this year’s fair.
On the occasion of World AIDS Day, Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha urged citizens to strengthen awareness, responsibility, and collective action in the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS. Observed annually on December 1, the day holds significant importance across the country, and Tripura has consistently participated with active involvement from government bodies, private institutions, and people from all walks of life.
Highlighting this year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” Dr. Saha said it underscores the need for resilience and innovation in addressing HIV-related challenges. He noted that the state government has been making continuous efforts to prevent HIV transmission and expand awareness. Tripura was recently recognized by the Union Ministry of Health for its efficient service delivery to individuals living with HIV/AIDS—a milestone the Chief Minister described with pride.
Dr. Saha identified four primary modes of HIV transmission: unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, transfusion of unscreened blood, sharing needles among multiple individuals, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy or childbirth. He emphasized that awareness about these risk factors remains the strongest tool in preventing the spread of HIV.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the extensive measures undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at various administrative levels, supported by awareness activities in schools, colleges, universities, government departments, and voluntary organizations.
Expressing concern over rising drug abuse, especially intravenous drug use, Dr. Saha stressed that such practices have contributed to the spread of HIV in the state. He appealed to all citizens to work together to protect the youth and create a drug-free Tripura.
Dr. Saha concluded by urging society to stand with people living with HIV/AIDS and promote compassion and constructive messages. He extended greetings to all institutions working dedicatedly in this field and expressed confidence that with collective effort, Tripura will successfully move towards eliminating HIV.
The Agartala Regional Committee of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) organized a blood donation camp at Chatra-Juba Bhavan on Sunday, drawing enthusiastic participation from volunteers and supporters. The programme aimed not only to encourage the life-saving act of blood donation but also to strengthen the state’s blood banks, which often face shortages during emergencies.
Leader of the Opposition and CPI(M) senior leader Jitendra Choudhury attended the event as a guest and spoke to the media about the larger social relevance of such initiatives. While acknowledging the significance of donating blood, he also called attention to the deeper societal issues that continue to affect the lives of young people across Tripura.
Choudhury stated that although blood donation is a noble deed, it is equally important to focus on the prevailing socio-political climate, where certain groups and systems exploit the youth for personal or political gain. This manipulation, he said, often results in violence, unrest, and unnecessary bloodshed—an issue that needs urgent attention.
He further noted that incidents of blood loss have become alarmingly frequent in the state, occurring almost on a daily basis due to road accidents, clashes, and other untoward events. In this context, maintaining an adequate supply of blood in the state’s blood banks becomes essential for saving lives.
Commending DYFI’s efforts, Choudhury said that such initiatives not only promote humanitarian values but also directly address the growing demand for blood in government and private healthcare facilities. He praised the volunteers and organizers for stepping forward to serve society and encouraged more youth organizations to undertake similar activities.
The event concluded with DYFI leaders reaffirming their commitment to continue organizing socially responsible programmes aimed at supporting public welfare and promoting unity among the youth.
Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu formally inaugurated and flagged off the Mobile Health Care Unit Project of Sewa International and REC Foundation at Raj Bhavan, Agartala, this evening. The initiative marks a significant step toward expanding healthcare access for underserved communities across Tripura, particularly in remote and rural regions where medical services often remain limited.
Speaking at the event, Governor Reddy praised the collaboration between Sewa International and the REC Foundation, noting that such partnerships play a crucial role in strengthening grassroots healthcare delivery. He emphasized that quality healthcare should not be a privilege but a basic right accessible to every citizen, irrespective of geographical or economic barriers. The Mobile Health Care Unit, he said, would help bridge this gap by bringing essential medical services directly to those who need them the most.
The newly launched mobile unit is equipped with basic diagnostic tools, first-aid facilities, medicines, and health awareness materials. It aims to provide regular health check-ups, preliminary screenings, maternal and child healthcare services, and guidance on preventive healthcare practices. The initiative will also help raise awareness about common health issues and promote healthier lifestyles among rural populations.
Representatives from Sewa International highlighted that the project is part of their broader mission to provide humanitarian support and improve the quality of life in vulnerable communities. They expressed gratitude to the REC Foundation for its financial and logistical support, which made the project possible.
Officials from the REC Foundation also spoke on the occasion, reaffirming their commitment to supporting community-oriented initiatives under their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. They noted that the Mobile Health Care Unit in Tripura is one of several such projects being implemented nationwide.
The event concluded with the Governor flagging off the vehicle, symbolizing the start of its journey across the state. The initiative is expected to significantly strengthen last-mile healthcare delivery and reaffirm the state’s commitment to inclusive development.
Social Welfare and Social Education Minister, and MLA of the Chandipur constituency, Tinku Roy visited the scenic Shivbari area in Chinibagan, a location admired for its pristine natural beauty and serene environment. Known for its lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, Shivbari continues to draw attention as one of the region’s most picturesque landscapes.
During his visit, Minister Roy expressed deep appreciation for the area’s breathtaking charm. He described the surroundings as a “magnificent canvas painted by nature,” highlighting how the gentle embrace of green-covered hills and the tranquil ambience create a dreamlike experience for visitors. “The sweet touch of silence, the soothing atmosphere, and the spectacular viewpoints together form a picture that feels as if it were drawn by nature’s own hands,” he remarked.
While acknowledging the beauty that remains largely untouched, the Minister also emphasized the enormous potential the location holds for future development. He noted that Shivbari could emerge as a promising site for eco-tourism, nature trails, and community-based tourism initiatives, provided development is planned mindfully and sustainably.
Minister Roy added that his visit was not limited to appreciating the landscape but was also aimed at identifying opportunities for balanced growth. He observed that any developmental activities must ensure that the ecological harmony of the area is preserved. The goal, he stated, should be to enhance the region’s appeal without disturbing its natural charm.
He further mentioned that improving basic amenities, connectivity, and responsible tourism infrastructure could help the region gain wider recognition while benefiting local communities.

Agartala, November 30:
In a powerful display of frustration and symbolic protest, women placed empty pitchers on the road and blocked the crucial Agartala–Dharmanagar route on Sunday. The blockade occurred near the Lalchara Lohar Gate area under Kadamtala police station in North Tripura district, disrupting a vital corridor that also connects Tripura with neighbouring Assam.
Residents of Ward No. 4 of Bishnupur have reportedly been struggling with a severe drinking water crisis for the past two to three months. According to the protesting women, despite repeated appeals to the local panchayat and administrative authorities, no steps were taken to resolve the issue. Left with no choice, the villagers—mostly women—took to the streets, placing empty pitchers as a symbol of their prolonged suffering and demanding immediate restoration of water supply.
Protesters alleged that they have been deprived of drinking water for over two months and are forced to fetch water from distant locations, a task especially difficult for women with small children. They said that their continued pleas for help were ignored, leading them to resort to blocking the highway as a last option to draw attention to their plight.
Police personnel from Kadamtala police station quickly arrived at the scene and attempted to persuade the protesters to lift the blockade, but were unsuccessful. The deadlock continued until Kadamtala Panchayat Samiti Chairman Mihir Ranjan Nath reached the site and initiated dialogue with the agitating villagers in an effort to address their concerns.
Meanwhile, the road blockade caused significant inconvenience to commuters, with long queues of vehicles forming on both sides of the highway. The disruption highlighted not just the immediate water crisis but also the pressing need for responsive local governance and timely solutions to basic public grievances.
Shillong/Agartala, December 30:
The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), an apex body representing eight major students’ organisations of the northeastern states, on Tuesday demanded capital punishment for those responsible for the killing of Tripura student Angel Chakma, who was brutally assaulted in Dehradun and later died of his injuries on December 26.
NESO Chairman Samuel B. Jyrwa and Secretary General Mutsikhoyo Yhobu, in a letter addressed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, placed three key demands, foremost among them being the award of death penalty to the perpetrators of what they described as a heinous and racially motivated crime.
The organisation also demanded the establishment of at least one special police station to deal exclusively with cases of racial discrimination and atrocities against people from the northeastern states, along with the enactment of a stringent Anti-Racism Act to prevent such incidents.
Seeking urgent intervention from the Uttarakhand government, NESO stressed the need for effective measures to ensure the mental, social and physical security of students and residents from the Northeast studying and living in Dehradun and other parts of the state. The body noted that people from the region have repeatedly faced racial abuse and violence in different parts of the country, often with fatal consequences.
According to officials and family members, Angel Chakma, a 24-year-old final-year MBA student and son of a Border Security Force (BSF) constable, was attacked by a group of miscreants on December 9, allegedly accompanied by racial slurs. He battled for life for 18 days before succumbing to his injuries. His brother Micheal Chakma was also assaulted during the incident.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha held discussions twice with his Uttarakhand counterpart Pushkar Singh Dhami following the incident. Dhami informed Saha that five accused have been arrested and sent to judicial custody, while further investigation is underway. The main accused reportedly fled to Nepal after the incident.
The Uttarakhand government has sanctioned Rs 4,12,500 as the first instalment of financial assistance to Angel’s father, Tarun Prasad Chakma. Dhami also assured the family that all those involved would be brought to justice.
The killing has triggered widespread outrage across the Northeast, with political leaders, students’ bodies and civil society organisations strongly condemning the incident. Candlelight vigils and protest marches were held in Agartala, while Angel Chakma’s last rites were performed at his ancestral village in Unokoti district on Sunday.

Special emphasis was laid on the livelihoods sector, with presentations highlighting challenges, progress achieved so far, best practices and successful field-level interventions. The discussions underscored the need for coordinated action to maximise the impact of livelihood activities in tribal-dominated areas.
On the occasion, laptops were distributed to TRESP staff by the minister to strengthen project implementation and monitoring capacities.
Senior officials, including Director Shubhashis Das, Secretary Dr Shashi Kumar and T K Chakma, IAS, shared insights into the project’s vision, objectives and implementation framework. Technical sessions were conducted by Chief Operating Officer Gajendra Verma, Institution Building Specialist Sonali Laskar and GIS Specialist Naorem Singhjit Singh, who outlined implementation strategies, targets and monitoring mechanisms.

Under the livelihoods component, the project is currently operational in 23 tribal-dominated blocks across eight districts of Tripura.
The workshop highlighted significant progress in the formation of producer groups, expansion of livelihood opportunities, and advancement of infrastructure and education-related interventions under TRESP.

The North Tripura District Court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of five accused arrested in connection with the death of delivery boy Prasenjit Sarkar. The accused will be produced before the court again on January 9, 2026, officials said.
The five accused were produced before the court through video conferencing. Earlier, the court had remanded them to judicial custody till December 30, and with the remand period ending on Monday, they were presented again for further orders.
Prasenjit Sarkar’s hanging body was recovered on December 14 from Dharmanagar in North Tripura district, sparking widespread outrage, protests and demands for justice across the state. The incident had drawn sharp reactions from various organisations and members of the public, who alleged that the young delivery worker was subjected to prolonged harassment before his death.
The accused have been identified as Sushmita Bhattacharjee, Sangeeta Bhattacharjee, Sourav Bhattacharjee, Meghadeep Bhattacharjee and Piu Dhar. Police said they have been booked under multiple provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 103(1) related to murder. Other sections invoked in the case include Sections 329(4), 115(2) and 3(5), reflecting the seriousness of the allegations.
According to investigating officials, the police achieved a major breakthrough by arresting all five accused within 14 days of the incident. The arrests were carried out from different locations in Assam’s Karimganj district and the Churaibari area of North Tripura, following sustained raids and coordinated operations.
The case reportedly involves allegations of sustained mental and physical harassment of the victim, which investigators believe ultimately led to his death. Police said the investigation is continuing, with efforts underway to collect further evidence and complete the charge sheet within the stipulated time.
Authorities have assured that the case is being treated with utmost seriousness and that a thorough probe will be conducted to ensure justice for the victim. Meanwhile, family members and rights groups continue to demand exemplary punishment for those found guilty in the case.
Dehradun, Dec 29: Amid mounting outrage over the killing of a Tripura student in Dehradun, allegedly following a racist attack, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday spoke to the victim’s father and assured strict action against all those involved.
The victim, 24-year-old Angel Chakma, a resident of Tripura’s Unakoti district and a final-year MBA student at a Dehradun university, was fatally attacked following an altercation at Selakui market on December 9. According to police and family members, Angel and his younger brother Michael had an argument with Suraj Khawas (22), a resident of Manipur currently living in Dehradun, and five of his associates.
During the incident, the accused allegedly assaulted Angel with knives and brass knuckles. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and succumbed to his injuries on December 26 after battling for life for over two weeks.
Angel’s father, Tarun Prasad Chakma, who is posted with the Border Security Force (BSF) in Manipur, alleged that the attack was racially motivated. He claimed that the assailants hurled racial slurs at his son, calling him “Chinese” and using other derogatory remarks before attacking him.
Expressing deep sorrow over the incident, Chief Minister Dhami said five accused have already been arrested, while one suspect has fled to Nepal. A reward of Rs 25,000 has been announced for information leading to the arrest of the absconding accused, identified as Yagyaraj Awasthi, a resident of Nepal’s Kanchanpur district. A police team has been sent to Nepal to trace him.
Dhami said he is personally pained by the incident and assured the family that the Uttarakhand government will ensure the culprits receive the strictest punishment. He also said he has spoken to Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding the case.
Police said the case was initially registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for assault and intimidation, later upgraded to murder following Angel’s death. Five accused, including two juveniles, are currently in custody as the investigation continues.
Agartala/Dehradun, Dec 29: Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarman on Monday announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for anyone who can assist the police in arresting the absconding accused involved in the brutal killing of Tripura student Angel Chakma in Dehradun. Expressing strong dissatisfaction over the pace of the investigation, Debbarman questioned the seriousness of the efforts to bring the remaining culprit to justice.
Reacting sharply to the Uttarakhand government’s announcement of a Rs 25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the fugitive, Debbarman said, “Is this the price of Angel’s life?” He alleged that such a low reward undermines the gravity of the crime and sends a wrong message, particularly when the victim belonged to an indigenous community.
Urging the authorities not to trivialise the issue, Debbarman said he would personally pay Rs 10 lakh from his own pocket to anyone who voluntarily comes forward with credible information that helps the police apprehend the absconding accused. He also cautioned against treating the incident lightly, stating that justice must be delivered without bias or delay.
Meanwhile, an ADGP of Uttarakhand Police reiterated that a detailed investigation is underway. Five accused have already been arrested in connection with the case, while one assailant remains at large. Police said a manhunt has been launched to track down the fugitive.
Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha and former Chief Minister and current West Tripura Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb have both spoken to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, demanding the strictest possible action against all those involved in the crime.
Angel Chakma and his younger brother Michael were attacked on December 9 following a heated altercation with a group of assailants. Michael sustained serious head injuries, while Angel was brutally stabbed. After battling for life for over two weeks, Angel succumbed to his injuries on December 26 at a hospital in Uttarakhand.
Eyewitnesses and family members described the incident as a hate crime, alleging that racial slurs were hurled at the brothers during the assault. The killing has triggered widespread outrage, with student organisations and rights bodies holding protest marches in Tripura and Uttarakhand. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma also condemned the attack and demanded justice for Angel Chakma.

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.

We all know the very famous Short film actor Pranab Kr Nath. He is a rising star and is a very popular artist, widely known for his short videos and other things too. He started with a small video that he made in his college days. This video was just a small skit, a demo to see how people would react to it.
We know that great journeys begin with a single step. Similarly, Pranab kr Nath started off with such a video. He did not do it alone, however. He has always been a very likeable as well as a loveable person. People belonging to all age groups simply love his company and like to hang out with him. Therefore as a young person he has such friends who would uplift him into trying out something new.
When Pranab Kr Nath first made this video, it had mixed reviews. Whenever a hit movie comes out in cinema halls a lot of people give it reviews. Similarly, Pranab Kr Nath also received a lot such reviews on his videos. One of the major thing was that some gave constructive criticism while ignorant people laughed. But look at him now; he is the one who is laughing because he has always been a down to earth person and has been very hard working. He has proved himself in this field of career.
It is very difficult for a person to establish themselves in this film industry but Pranab kr Nath had the fire in him and hence he is known all over Northeastern India now.
Mostly, he creates videos on various things that the younger generation likes. On other times he records things which increase social awareness, like matters about which the society should be concerned about. How does this video affect people? It makes them realize what sort of happiness a kind deed gives a person.
You can look his videos up in various websites, if you click on this link it will direct you to a very lovely video which is written, produced as well as created by Pranab Kr Nath: https://www.facebook.com/PranabClub/videos/163678174945716, https://www.facebook.com/PranabClub/videos/649478545630479, https://www.facebook.com/PranabClub/videos/574761140115387, https://www.facebook.com/PranabClub/videos/595372814334354, https://www.facebook.com/PranabClub/videos/569350507120668,
The ideas from which Mr Pranab Kr Nath creates videos are very original. We will never find anything copied from other short films or movie clips. He never copies ideas from other people and claims it his. Since he is a very thoughtful person, he himself does the job of making all his short films. In conclusion we can say that his Short Film is a huge success, with marvelous quality!
Beginning from the quality of videos, to high definition screenplay as well as a good music/ voice system adds to the betterment of the videos. It is very rare to see a person rising so quickly. All his fans wish him well, support him in his career and always expect wonderful new videos. However, Pranab Kr Nath is a person who not just makes videos but also remains busy taking care of the needs of other people. Therefore, it is not always possible for him to make videos.
He gives his best shot into making Short Films whenever possible. They sure are super hits! Go click on the above link and appreciate it! What a wonderful actor Pranab Kr Nath is.
