Agartala, July 30: The Tripura Government on Thursday informed the Tripura High Court that the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Airport Police Station has been suspended for allegedly defying the instructions of a superior officer to register a First Information Report (FIR) on a woman's complaint involving a cognizable offence.
The information was placed before the High Court during the hearing of a petition filed by a woman who alleged police inaction and harassment after she approached Airport Police Station with her complaint.
Speaking to the media after the hearing, senior advocate Purushottam Roy Barman, appearing for the petitioner, said the woman had lodged a complaint nearly a month ago, but the police allegedly refused to register an FIR despite the complaint disclosing a cognizable offence.
According to the petitioner, she was subsequently called to the police station, where she was allegedly harassed, made to remain at the station without legal justification and pressured to withdraw her complaint.
Roy Barman said that after receiving no response from the Airport Police Station, the complainant approached the Superintendent of Police (West Tripura) around 25 days ago. However, as no action was taken even after approaching the district police chief, she moved the Tripura High Court seeking judicial intervention.
The matter came up before a Division Bench headed by the Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court. During the hearing, the state informed the court that an FIR has now been registered in connection with the complaint.
The government further informed the court that the Superintendent of Police, West Tripura, had earlier directed the Officer-in-Charge of Airport Police Station to register the FIR immediately after the complainant approached him. However, the OC allegedly failed to comply with the instructions of his superior officer.
As a result, disciplinary action was initiated against the police officer, and he was placed under suspension for disobeying official orders, the court was informed.
Taking note of the developments, the High Court also directed the police authorities to ensure the safety and security of the complainant during the course of the investigation.
The case has drawn attention to the importance of prompt registration of FIRs in cognizable offences and adherence to established legal procedures. The High Court is expected to continue monitoring the matter as the investigation progresses.
Agartala, July 30: In a heartwarming gesture of compassion and social responsibility, the Tripura Agricultural Graduates Association has donated Rs 3 lakh to support the treatment of little Manashree, a child battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder that requires expensive medical care.
The donation cheque was handed over to Manashree's father in the presence of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare and Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath during a programme held on Thursday. The contribution is part of an ongoing statewide effort to raise funds for the child's treatment.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister Nath praised the members and officers of the Agriculture Department for responding positively to his appeal to extend support to the family. He said the contribution reflected the department's commitment to humanity beyond its official responsibilities.
"This gesture proves that the Agriculture Department is not just an institution responsible for implementing government policies, but a family that stands together in times of crisis," the Minister said.
He also urged officials and employees across the department to voluntarily contribute towards Manashree's treatment, emphasizing that even small donations can make a significant difference when people come together for a common cause.
Highlighting the scale of the challenge, Nath noted that the treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy is extremely expensive and cannot be managed by a single family alone. He appealed to citizens, organisations and institutions across the state to extend financial support so that the child can receive timely treatment.
The Minister pointed out that the campaign has already received support from several quarters. Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, along with numerous organisations, institutions and well-wishers, have already made contributions. Nath also informed that he has personally donated towards the cause.
Drawing inspiration from Tripura's collective response during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent flood relief efforts, the Minister called upon people to once again unite for a humanitarian cause.
"Every contribution, whether big or small, brings hope to the family. Together, we can help secure Manashree's treatment and give her a chance at a healthier future," he said.
The donation by the Agricultural Graduates Association has been widely appreciated and is expected to encourage more individuals and organisations to join the campaign to support the child in her fight against SMA.
Agartala, July 30: The Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) on Thursday officially concluded the 2026 academic session with the declaration of the Year-Saving (Bachhar Bachao) examination results, bringing the curtain down on this year's Madhyamik (Secondary) and Higher Secondary (Class 12) examination cycle.
Announcing the results at a press conference, TBSE President Dr. Dhananjay Gan Choudhury said the declaration of the Year-Saving examination results marks the formal completion of the 2026 board examinations. He pointed out that while the main examination results were announced on May 24 this year, compared to April 30 in 2023, the Year-Saving results were published on July 30, a few days later than last year's July 24 announcement.
The Year-Saving examinations helped improve the overall pass percentages in both Madhyamik and Higher Secondary examinations. In Madhyamik, the pass rate increased from 84.18 per cent to 84.93 per cent. Of the 758 students who appeared for the Year-Saving examination, 239 cleared it, taking the total number of successful candidates to 27,333 out of 32,184 students.
TBSE Secretary Dr. Jaydeep Chakraborty said 292 schools achieved a 100 per cent pass rate in the Madhyamik examinations, reflecting consistent academic performance across the state.
In the Higher Secondary examination, 1,570 students appeared for the Year-Saving test, of whom 350 qualified. As a result, the overall pass percentage rose from 79.33 per cent to 80.65 per cent. A total of 21,374 students successfully passed out of 26,504 candidates. The board also reported that 66 Higher Secondary schools registered a perfect pass rate, highlighting academic excellence despite the overall success rate remaining slightly lower than last year's.
District-wise results showed noticeable variations in performance. Gomati district recorded the highest Madhyamik pass percentage at 89.07 per cent, followed by Sepahijala with 88.58 per cent, while Dhalai remained at the bottom with 72.65 per cent. In Higher Secondary, Sepahijala topped the state with an 85.54 per cent pass rate, followed by South Tripura (84.51 per cent) and North Tripura (82.54 per cent). Dhalai again recorded the lowest performance at 69.05 per cent.
Board officials said the Year-Saving examination continues to provide students with a valuable second opportunity to complete their academic year, reducing dropout rates and helping more candidates qualify. While the final pass percentages reflect modest improvements, the district-wise disparities indicate the need for focused interventions to improve educational outcomes in weaker-performing regions.
Agartala, July 30: The demand for the immediate recruitment of TET-1 and TET-2 qualified candidates once again took centre stage in Tripura on Wednesday as hundreds of unemployed teaching aspirants staged a protest outside Shiksha Bhavan in Agartala. The demonstrators urged the state government and the Teachers' Recruitment Board, Tripura (TRBT) to expedite the appointment process without any further delay.
Carrying placards and flex banners, the protesters raised slogans demanding justice for candidates who successfully cleared the 2024 Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). They later submitted a deputation to the TRBT, pressing for the immediate publication of the recommendation list and completion of the recruitment process within a fixed timeframe.
The banners carried by the aspirants reflected their growing frustration over the prolonged delay in appointments. Some of the messages read, "Appoint all TET-qualified candidates immediately," "Why are years passing without recruitment?" and "Publish the recommendation list and complete appointments quickly."
Addressing the media, several protesters said they had fulfilled all eligibility requirements by clearing the TET examinations but continue to remain unemployed due to delays in the recruitment process. They alleged that the uncertainty has caused severe financial hardship and emotional stress for many candidates who have been waiting for government teaching jobs.
The aspirants called upon the Education Minister, the Education Department and the TRBT to provide a clear roadmap for recruitment. They demanded transparency in the selection process and sought assurances that appointments would be completed without any further administrative hurdles.
The deputation submitted to the recruitment board outlined three key demands: immediate publication of the recommendation list, time-bound recruitment of all eligible TET-qualified candidates, and a commitment that no further academic sessions would be affected due to delays in the appointment process.
Protesters warned that they would continue their agitation until their demands are met. "The movement will not stop until our rights are restored," several aspirants declared during the demonstration.
The protest once again highlighted the growing dissatisfaction among qualified teaching aspirants in Tripura, who have been seeking timely recruitment after successfully clearing the eligibility examinations. With mounting pressure from unemployed candidates, all eyes are now on the state government and the TRBT to respond to their demands and announce the next course of action.

The minister instructed all departments to ensure timely completion of projects while maintaining transparency, accountability, and quality standards in execution.
Highlighting the district's immense tourism potential, Chowdhury said Unakoti possesses unique historical, religious, and natural attractions that can generate large-scale employment if developed properly. He called for improved transport connectivity and better tourism infrastructure to attract more visitors and strengthen the local economy.
The minister also stressed the importance of promoting food processing industries to add value to local agricultural produce. He noted that developing agro-based industries would not only increase farmers' income but also create sustainable employment opportunities in rural areas.
Reiterating the government's commitment to inclusive development, Chowdhury said the state administration is working in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha to ensure balanced growth across all districts.
The meeting concluded with officials being directed to closely monitor the progress of development projects and resolve pending issues promptly so that public welfare initiatives are implemented efficiently and without unnecessary delays.
The Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) has announced that the results of the Secondary and Higher Secondary 'Save Year' (Bachar Bachao) examinations will be declared on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 12 noon. The announcement brings relief to thousands of students across the state who have been eagerly awaiting the outcome of these examinations, which offer a second opportunity to continue their academic journey.

The 'Save Year' examination, popularly known as the 'Bachar Bachao' examination, is a special initiative of the Tripura Board aimed at providing students who could not clear the regular board examinations with another chance to qualify without losing an entire academic year. The programme has played a significant role in reducing academic dropout rates and helping students pursue higher education despite earlier setbacks.
Board officials stated that all preparations have been completed for the smooth declaration of results and subsequent distribution of certificates. Necessary arrangements have also been made to facilitate the collection of documents by school representatives in an orderly manner.
Education officials have urged schools to maintain transparency and efficiency during the distribution process and extend necessary assistance to students seeking information regarding their results.
The declaration of the 'Save Year' examination results is expected to provide clarity to thousands of students and their families, enabling successful candidates to proceed with admissions to higher classes and continue their education without interruption. The board has reiterated its commitment to ensuring a fair, timely and student-friendly examination and evaluation process across the state.

The agitating aspirants expressed deep frustration over the prolonged delay in teacher appointments despite qualifying the eligibility examination. Many alleged that repeated delays have left thousands of qualified candidates unemployed, forcing them to face severe financial and emotional hardship.
The banners carried by the protesters reflected their growing discontent, with slogans such as "Appoint all TET-qualified candidates immediately," "Why are years passing without recruitment?" and "Publish the recommendation list and complete appointments quickly." The demonstrators also demanded transparency in the recruitment process and sought clear answers from the Education Minister, the Education Department, and the TRBT regarding the status of appointments.
Speaking to reporters, several candidates said they had fulfilled all eligibility requirements but were still waiting for recruitment due to administrative delays. They claimed that the uncertainty surrounding the recruitment process has disrupted their careers and affected their families financially.
The protesters reiterated three key demands: immediate publication of the recommendation list, time-bound recruitment of all eligible TET-qualified candidates, and an assurance that no further academic sessions would be affected because of delays in the appointment process.
Warning of intensified agitation if their demands remain unaddressed, the aspirants said they would continue their peaceful movement until the government initiates the recruitment process.

The protest highlights the growing dissatisfaction among teaching aspirants in Tripura, who are now seeking swift government intervention to ensure timely recruitment and fill vacant teaching posts across the state.
Agartala, July 27: Political tension gripped the Chandrapur Club area under Dharmanagar Police Station in North Tripura after two Youth Congress workers were allegedly assaulted by unidentified miscreants on Saturday night, triggering protests by Congress leaders and supporters.
The incident prompted a large number of Congress workers, led by district leaders, to stage a demonstration and gherao the Dharmanagar Police Station, demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible. Protesters submitted a written complaint seeking a fair and impartial investigation, stringent legal action against the accused and exemplary punishment.
The two injured Youth Congress workers were admitted to Dharmanagar District Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment. Their condition was not immediately known.
Addressing the media, North Tripura District Congress president Nirupam Dey alleged that the attack was a deliberate attempt to intimidate opposition workers and disrupt the party's political activities in the region. He claimed the incident reflected a deteriorating law and order situation and questioned the role of the administration in preventing such attacks.
"The perpetrators must be arrested without delay. We want a neutral investigation and strict punishment for those involved," Dey said, adding that the Congress would continue its democratic protest until justice was delivered.
The protest at the police station continued for several hours before senior police officials intervened and assured the party leaders that appropriate legal action would be taken. Following the assurance, the Congress temporarily withdrew the gherao.
However, the party issued a strong warning to the administration, stating that if the accused were not arrested within 24 hours, it would launch a larger agitation across the district. Congress leaders said the next phase of the movement would include continuous demonstrations and intensified protest programmes.
In view of the tense situation, additional police personnel have been deployed in the Chandrapur and Dharmanagar areas to prevent any further disturbance and maintain law and order.
Police officials confirmed that a case has been registered and an investigation is underway. They said efforts are on to identify and apprehend those involved in the alleged assault.
The incident has heightened political tensions in North Tripura, with the Congress accusing the administration of failing to ensure the safety of opposition workers while demanding swift action against the culprits.
Agartala, July 27: Agartala Mayor Dipak Majumdar on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 136th edition of Mann Ki Baat carried a special message for the people of Tripura by highlighting the state's rich cultural heritage and the need to preserve its endangered folk traditions.
Speaking after attending a community listening session at Naniamura Alimuddin JB School, the Mayor said the Prime Minister's reference to Tripura's traditional musical instrument, Chongpreng, and his appreciation of folk artist Suraj Kumar Debbarma for preserving the art form had filled the people of the state with pride.
"The Prime Minister reminded us that protecting our folk traditions, indigenous musical instruments and cultural heritage is the responsibility of the present generation. His words are a source of inspiration for the people of Tripura," Majumdar said.
He noted that Mann Ki Baat has consistently highlighted inspiring stories from across the country and serves as a platform to encourage citizens to contribute towards nation-building. According to the Mayor, the latest episode not only focused on preserving India's cultural diversity but also celebrated achievements in sports, Olympiads, handicrafts and various developmental initiatives.
Majumdar said the Prime Minister's message went beyond cultural preservation, inspiring people to participate in the country's progress while remaining connected to their roots. He added that such recognition at the national level would motivate young people in Tripura to take pride in their traditions and work towards preserving the state's unique cultural identity.
The community listening programme was organised by the Tripura Pradesh BJP and witnessed the participation of corporator Shampa Sen Sarkar, party leaders, workers and local residents. Participants listened to the Prime Minister's address, which also touched upon recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir, sporting achievements, educational excellence and the promotion of traditional handicrafts.
Adding significance to the day, 26 beneficiaries from Agartala Municipal Corporation's Ward No. 8 received houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
The Mayor said the Prime Minister's address would encourage citizens to protect Tripura's cultural heritage while strengthening the spirit of unity, development and collective responsibility for building a stronger and more prosperous nation.
Agartala, July 27: Tripura on Sunday observed Kargil Vijay Diwas with solemnity and patriotic fervour at the Albert Ekka War Memorial Park in Lichubagan, Agartala, commemorating the supreme sacrifice of the Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during the 1999 Kargil War.
A special commemorative programme was organised to honour the brave soldiers whose courage and dedication safeguarded the nation's sovereignty during the conflict. The ceremony was marked by dignity and deep respect as government officials, defence personnel and citizens gathered to pay homage to the martyrs.
Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu attended the programme as the chief guest and offered floral tributes at the war memorial. Remembering the heroic deeds of the Indian Armed Forces, the Governor paid tribute to the soldiers who displayed exceptional courage and unwavering commitment in defending the country's territorial integrity during the Kargil conflict.
Speaking on the occasion, he highlighted the unparalleled bravery, patriotism and selfless service of the Indian Army, stating that the sacrifices made by the Kargil martyrs continue to inspire generations of Indians. He said Kargil Vijay Diwas serves as a reminder of the courage and determination displayed by the nation's armed forces in the face of adversity.
The programme witnessed the participation of senior Army officials, civil administration officers, ex-servicemen and distinguished citizens, who joined together in paying their respects to the fallen heroes. Floral tributes were offered at the memorial, while participants observed the occasion with solemn silence in honour of the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of the nation.
Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year on July 26 to commemorate India's victory in the Kargil War of 1999, when the Indian Armed Forces successfully recaptured strategic positions occupied by Pakistani intruders in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir after weeks of intense military operations.
The observance in Agartala reflected the state's gratitude towards the brave soldiers and reaffirmed the nation's commitment to remembering their sacrifices. The ceremony concluded with a collective pledge to uphold the ideals of patriotism, national unity and service, ensuring that the legacy of the Kargil heroes continues to inspire future generations.
The Tripura Tribal Customary Law Coordination Committee has urged Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha to expedite the codification of the customary laws of 14 Scheduled Tribe communities, stating that the bills passed by the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) in 2022 are still awaiting enactment.
A delegation of the committee, comprising Pradhan Samajpatis (traditional chieftains) of various tribal communities, submitted a memorandum to the chief minister at his official residence. The delegation expressed concern over the prolonged delay, saying it has created uncertainty about the preservation of the tribes' traditional customs, practices, institutions, and indigenous identity.
The committee pointed out that Tripura is home to 19 recognised Scheduled Tribe communities, each with its own distinct culture, language, customs, and traditional governance systems. Some communities also have their own scripts. For generations, tribal societies have settled disputes through community-based mediation and customary practices, reducing reliance on police stations and formal courts.
Referring to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, the committee said the TTAADC was established to safeguard the socio-economic, cultural, and traditional rights of Scheduled Tribe communities while promoting self-governance in accordance with their customary practices.
According to the memorandum, the demand for codification of tribal customary laws has existed since the formation of the autonomous district council. However, apart from the Jamatia Customary Law, no other tribal customary law has been formally enacted despite decades of efforts.
The committee noted that on December 28, 2022, the TTAADC unanimously passed customary law bills for 14 tribal communities, including Tripura, Reang, Tripuri, Chakma, Garo, Uchoi, Noatia, Murasing, Kaipeng, Rupini, Hrankhawl, Mog, Mizo, and Choroi. These bills were subsequently forwarded to the Tribal Welfare Department for processing and the Governor's assent. However, the enactment process has remained incomplete, with some bills reportedly returned to the TTAADC for rectification.
Describing the delay as a matter of growing concern, the committee appealed to the state government to ensure the early enactment of the pending bills. It said codification would provide legal recognition to the customary laws, strengthen the protection of tribal traditions and indigenous faith, and enable Scheduled Tribe communities to continue practising their customs within an established legal framework.
Tripura Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury on Monday said the state government's ambitious project to develop replicas of all 51 Shakti Peethas at Banduar in Udaipur, Gomati district, is poised to become a landmark destination for religious and spiritual tourism in the country.
The project, being developed by the Tripura Tourism Department near the revered Mata Tripurasundari Temple, aims to showcase the state's rich religious, cultural and spiritual heritage while strengthening its position on India's tourism map.
Speaking to reporters, Chowdhury said Shankaracharya Swami Adhokshajananda Devtirthji Maharaj, the Peethadheeshwar of the Purvamnaya Govardhan Math in Puri, visited the under-construction site on Monday morning to review the progress of the project. During the visit, the Shankaracharya expressed satisfaction over the pace of work and conveyed confidence that the completed project would attract a large number of devotees, pilgrims and spiritual seekers from across India and abroad.
According to the minister, the proposed complex has the potential to emerge as one of India's premier centres for religious tourism, hosting spiritual gatherings and attracting visitors seeking to experience the significance of all 51 Shakti Peethas at a single location.
Chowdhury said the project will offer devotees a unique pilgrimage experience while simultaneously promoting Tripura as a major destination for spiritual and heritage tourism at both the national and international levels.
He added that the initiative reflects the state government's commitment to preserving and promoting Tripura's spiritual traditions while creating new avenues for tourism-led economic development. Increased tourist inflow is expected to generate employment opportunities, support local businesses and contribute to the overall growth of the region.
The minister also noted that the project aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of developing at least one world-class tourist destination in every state. The proposed '51 Shakti Peetha Park' is being developed as one such flagship project in Tripura.
The ambitious project has been estimated to cost ₹97.70 crore. Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha laid the foundation stone of the project on July 13, 2025, in the presence of Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury and Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy. Once completed, the park is expected to significantly enhance Tripura's profile as a leading destination for pilgrimage and spiritual tourism in Northeast India.
Nine CPI(M) legislators in Tripura on Monday met Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu and submitted a memorandum seeking his intervention to ensure an independent inquiry into the unnatural death of Director General of Police (DGP) Anurag Dhankar. The opposition leaders demanded that the investigation be conducted under the direct supervision of a sitting judge of the Tripura High Court to ensure transparency and public confidence.
The delegation, led by Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury, urged the Governor to take appropriate constitutional steps to facilitate an impartial probe into the death of the state's top police officer, which occurred while he was on official duty at the Tripura Police Headquarters.
In their memorandum, the CPI(M) legislators stated that the death of such a senior constitutional functionary within the police headquarters during office hours had raised serious public concerns and required an inquiry that was independent, credible and beyond reproach.
Referring to reports that the incident had been described as a case of suicide, the opposition leaders said several questions surrounding the circumstances of the death remained unanswered. They clarified that they were not drawing any conclusions but stressed that the existence of public doubts made it essential to establish the truth through a transparent judicial inquiry.
The memorandum noted that the office of the Director General of Police occupies a crucial position in the state's constitutional and administrative framework. The legislators argued that an independent investigation was necessary not only to determine the facts but also to uphold public faith in governance, law enforcement and the rule of law.
The CPI(M) delegation requested that the inquiry be entrusted to a sitting judge of the Tripura High Court with comprehensive terms of reference. They said the probe should examine the sequence of events leading to the DGP's death, the circumstances at the place of occurrence, and any official or personal factors that may have contributed to the incident.
The opposition leaders also sought immediate preservation of all relevant evidence, including forensic material, CCTV footage, electronic records, official communications and witness statements, to ensure that the investigation remains fair, independent and expeditious.
The delegation comprised Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury, Deputy Leader of Opposition Shyamal Chakraborty, party whip Nirmal Biswas, Md Islam Uddin, Dipankar Sen, Ashoke Mitra, Ramu Das, Shailendra Chandra Nath and Sudip Sarker.
Agartala, July 26: The Congress on Sunday intensified its attack on the BJP-led Tripura government over the death of Director General of Police (DGP) Anurag, urging the Tripura High Court to take suo motu cognisance of the case and order a judicial probe while questioning the credibility of the ongoing Special Investigation Team (SIT) inquiry.
Addressing a press conference at the Pradesh Congress Bhavan, Congress Working Committee member and MLA Sudip Roy Barman, accompanied by Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee president Asish Kumar Saha and other senior leaders, said only a High Court-monitored judicial investigation could uncover the truth behind the DGP's alleged suicide.
Roy Barman argued that an impartial probe was not possible through an SIT headed by the West Tripura Superintendent of Police, stating that the police could not be expected to independently investigate the death of the state's own police chief.
Raising several unanswered questions, the Congress leader said doubts persisted over whether the incident was a case of suicide or something else. He questioned why the state's top police officer would allegedly end his life in his office rather than at his official residence and pointed to the absence of a suicide note as a matter requiring deeper investigation.
He also sought clarity on whether standard forensic protocols were followed after the body was recovered. Referring to opinions expressed by forensic experts, Roy Barman questioned who first reached the spot, whether proper photography and videography of the crime scene were conducted, and whether forensic evidence was scientifically preserved.
The former minister further alleged that the late DGP had faced humiliation and harassment in the days leading up to his death. Linking the case to recent anti-narcotics operations, he said the possible involvement of influential drug syndicates or other powerful interests should also be examined through an independent judicial inquiry.
Targeting Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, Roy Barman said that if the government had "nothing to hide", it should have no objection to a judicial probe. He also expressed disappointment that the Tripura High Court had not initiated suo motu proceedings, recalling similar interventions under former Chief Justice Deepak Gupta.
The Congress's demand comes after the CPI(M), the main Opposition party, also sought a judicial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the DGP's death.
Agartala: Seeking to put an end to the controversy over the naming of Tripura's upgraded government homeopathic medical institution, Health Secretary Kiran Gitte, IAS, has categorically stated that the name of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has not been removed and will continue to remain an integral part of the institution's official identity.
Addressing the issue on Saturday, Gitte announced that the institution's full official name will be "Agartala Government Homeopathic Medical College and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Homeopathic Hospital." He explained that the naming follows the same model adopted for the Agartala Government Medical College and Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital, where the medical college and hospital function as distinct entities while remaining part of a unified institution.
The Health Secretary said that new signboards displaying the official nomenclature would be installed immediately to eliminate any confusion and reaffirm that Netaji's name continues to be associated with the hospital.
The clarification comes in the wake of strong criticism from opposition parties, particularly the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the All India Forward Bloc, which alleged that the state government had dropped Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's name during the process of upgrading the hospital into a medical college.
CPI(M) State Secretary Jitendra Chaudhury termed the alleged omission as "historically unjustified," while the Forward Bloc submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Manik Saha, demanding restoration of Netaji's name. Both parties argued that administrative restructuring should not undermine the legacy of one of India's foremost freedom fighters.
Responding to the criticism, Gitte emphasized that the government's decision was guided by respect for Netaji's immense contribution to India's freedom struggle. "The naming pattern has been adopted only to provide administrative clarity while preserving the hospital's historic identity. There is no question of removing Netaji's name," he said.
With the government's clarification now on record and revised signboards set to be installed, the administration hopes to end the controversy. Attention will now turn to whether opposition parties accept the explanation once the official notification and updated signage are fully implemented. The government maintains that the revised nomenclature strikes a balance between institutional modernization and preserving the historical and cultural legacy associated with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

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.
