Agartala, October 1: Eight citizens were felicitated by the Tripura government on Wednesday for helping road accident victims and facilitating their timely transportation to hospitals under the ‘Rahveer’ Good Samaritan initiative.
Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury presented Rs 25,000 and certificates of appreciation to each of the awardees at a function organised at Conference Hall No. 1 of the State Secretariat.
The initiative seeks to encourage people to provide immediate assistance to accident victims and ensure that injured persons receive medical attention without delay, officials said.
Kajal Debnath and Prasenjit Bhowmik were jointly honoured for their efforts. Ashesh Das, Khurshid Mia and Ajit Das of Gomati district were also among those recognised.
Satyajit Kumar Shil and Satya Ranjan Debnath from Dhalai district and Latika Sinha from Unakoti district were the other award recipients.
Officials said the awardees had stepped forward during road accidents, assisted injured persons and helped transport them to healthcare facilities.
Addressing the gathering, Chowdhury urged citizens to extend immediate help whenever they encounter people injured in road accidents.
“After an accident, do not hesitate—help the injured, take them to the hospital, and assist in saving a precious life,” he said.
The minister said the actions of the awardees demonstrated compassion and social responsibility and appreciated them for coming forward at a time when accident victims needed assistance.
He said efforts to improve road safety required cooperation from the public along with the work of government departments, police and traffic enforcement agencies.
Chowdhury also appealed to citizens to follow the spirit of the Rahveer initiative and assist people in distress rather than hesitate at accident sites.
“Let us not say ‘no’ in times of crisis—extend the hand of humanity and stand beside those in need,” he said.
Officials said the initiative was part of the Transport Department’s broader road safety programme, which seeks to involve local communities in emergency response and promote timely assistance to accident victims.
They said taking injured persons to medical facilities at the earliest can be important in emergency situations and may help improve their chances of survival.
The department is also seeking to spread awareness about safeguards available to Good Samaritans who voluntarily assist accident victims, officials said.
They said recognising such citizens could encourage more people to come forward and help injured persons without being deterred by concerns regarding legal or procedural complications.
The programme highlighted the role of citizens as an important part of the immediate response following road accidents.
The Transport Department said continued community participation, together with road safety enforcement and awareness measures, would help strengthen accident response and contribute to saving lives across Tripura.
Agartala, September 30: The Tripura government is planning to expand the state's dairy sector by increasing milk production, strengthening the cooperative network and extending financial and technical support to dairy farmers, Animal Resources Development Minister Sudhangshu Das said on Tuesday.
Addressing the 13th Board Meeting of the Gomati Cooperative Milk Union, Das said the state's existing milk production was inadequate to meet demand and underlined the need for institutional cooperation and technical expertise to bridge the gap.
The meeting was held following a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Animal Resources Development Department, Gomati Cooperative Milk Union and the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
"Milk is a balanced and essential food, but our local production falls short. With NDDB's support, we can expand production, processing, and distribution to ensure affordable access for consumers," Das said.
He said the collaboration with NDDB would focus on improving milk production and processing, strengthening marketing and distribution networks and ensuring dairy products were made available to consumers at reasonable prices.
Gomati Cooperative Milk Union Chairman Ratan Ghosh said the board meeting was the first joint meeting with NDDB since the tripartite MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Manik Saha.
Ghosh said the Union has set a target of increasing its associated dairy farmer base from 6,642 to 10,000.
The Union will also establish 52 new milk-producing cooperative societies as part of efforts to expand its network and bring more farmers into organised dairy production.
The recently acquired Tridha Dairy at Kamalpur will be integrated into the Union's operations, while a new dairy plant at Bamutia, with a processing capacity of 40,000 litres, is being operationalised, he said.
Ghosh said Gomati Dairy, which began operations in 1982 with a processing capacity of 5,000 litres, has since expanded to 40,000 litres.
The cooperative currently produces four varieties of milk, two types of paneer, ghee, ice cream, packaged drinking water and nearly 75 varieties of sweets.
The Union is reviewing its marketing strategies to improve profitability and ensure better returns for dairy farmers, Ghosh said.
The board also discussed effective implementation of Central and state government schemes for cattle rearers and dairy farmers, besides measures to provide financial and technical assistance at the grassroots level.
NDDB North-East Coordinator Sabyasachi Roy, senior officials of the ARD Department, the Union's Managing Director and Secretary and other board members and officials attended the meeting.
Agartala, September 29: The Tipra Motha on Tuesday demanded the immediate arrest of those allegedly involved in a firing incident that injured one of its candidates during the Village Committee elections in Udaipur, giving the authorities 24 hours to take action.
A nine-member delegation of the party met State Election Commission official Anurag Sen at the Commission's office in Gorkhabasti here and submitted a deputation seeking urgent intervention in the matter.
The delegation included TTAADC Chief Executive Member Runiel Debbarma, MLAs Ranjit Debbarma and Biswajit Koloi, MDCs Suraj Debbarma, Jiten Debbarma and Prathmit Debbarma, besides other party representatives.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ranjit Debbarma said the party approached the Commission as the incident occurred during polling.
"If the attackers are not arrested within 24 hours, the party will announce its next course of action. Since the incident occurred in connection with the elections, we have demanded swift intervention from the Election Commission," he said.
The firing was reported from Warengbari in Gomati district on Monday afternoon. Police said a Tipra Motha candidate was injured after unidentified persons allegedly opened fire. Two other persons were also injured and hospitalised.
Debbarma alleged that the assailants arrived in vehicles and opened fire near the polling station. He questioned the delay in making arrests despite the passage of a day since the incident.
He further claimed that some injured Tipra Motha workers had identified the alleged attackers and provided information to the police, but no arrests had been made.
The party leader said Tipra Motha representatives would visit the affected area and meet local residents to gather details about the incident and the circumstances preceding the violence.
The party also sought immediate steps to restore law and order and prevent similar incidents during the electoral process.
Debbarma said police personnel were injured in subsequent clashes and described the violence as "highly undesirable" during an election.
Reports said Gomati Superintendent of Police Anirban Das was injured in stone-pelting during a clash near the Gamaria strong room, while the official vehicle of Udaipur SDPO Debanjali Roy was allegedly vandalised.
The delegation also stressed the need for adequate security at polling stations and protection of candidates, voters, polling personnel and political workers.
The TTAADC Village Committee elections were held on Monday after nearly a decade. Polling was largely peaceful across most areas, though isolated incidents of violence were reported.
The allegations raised by Tipra Motha are subject to investigation by the police and election authorities.
Agartala, September 29: BJP and CPI(M) leaders in Tripura on Tuesday visited hospitals to meet workers and candidates injured in violence during Monday’s Village Committee elections, with the rival parties seeking investigations into the incidents and making allegations against each other.
Tripura BJP president and MLA Abhishek Debroy visited GBP Hospital here and met party workers undergoing treatment. He interacted with the injured and their family members and assured them of necessary assistance.
Debroy described the incident as “deeply shocking” and called for an impartial probe.
He said the BJP had instructed its workers to ensure peaceful polling and claimed that voting remained largely peaceful across the state, barring isolated incidents.
“This was a sudden attack, a conspiracy. The police are investigating, and the truth will come out,” Debroy told reporters.
He said one of the injured youths belonged to his constituency and expressed concern over his condition.
“He is a good boy, my own constituency’s son. I was so distressed last night that I couldn’t sleep,” he said.
Debroy assured the youth’s family that he would provide all possible assistance in his capacity as the MLA.
Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition and CPI(M) state secretary Jitendra Chaudhury visited Gomati District Hospital and met an injured Tipra Motha candidate and other workers.
Chaudhury alleged that 10–12 vehicles carrying people from outside the area had reached the Surma polling centre and claimed that their presence was intended to influence the election.
He said local residents resisted the move, following which violence broke out. According to Chaudhury, a candidate was shot and two others were injured.
Police reports separately said a Tipra Motha candidate was injured in firing in Warengbari under R K Pur police station in Gomati district. Two other party supporters were also injured in the incident, while efforts were underway to identify those responsible. (The Times of India)
Chaudhury also referred to videos circulating on social media, claiming they showed BJP supporters attempting to enter polling areas and cast fraudulent votes. He demanded a thorough investigation into the allegations.
He further alleged that a confrontation took place near a strong room when supporters of different parties sought to monitor the movement of ballot boxes and that police personnel were attacked while intervening.
The CPI(M) leader, however, praised voters for turning out despite the incidents, saying their participation reflected their commitment to the electoral process.
“The enthusiasm among people to cast their votes, even after such incidents, shows their strong commitment to democracy,” Chaudhury said.
Officials said polling was largely peaceful in most areas, although isolated incidents were reported in Gomati district. More than 80 per cent of the 6.65 lakh eligible voters reportedly cast their ballots. (Tripura India)
The elections, held after nearly a decade, saw the BJP, CPI(M), Congress, Tipra Motha and other parties in the contest. The incidents have brought renewed focus on security arrangements and the need to examine the allegations surrounding the polling.
Agartala, September 28: The CPI(M) on Monday alleged irregularities during polling for the Village Committee elections under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), claiming that polling agents of opposition candidates were obstructed at some polling stations and that reports of bogus voting had emerged from several areas.
Former TTAADC Chief Executive Member and senior CPI(M) leader Radhacharan Debbarma alleged that polling agents representing opposition candidates were prevented from entering polling stations in parts of West Tripura district, including Jirania and Mandai, as well as in some areas of Sepahijala district.
Debbarma also alleged that opposition candidates had faced difficulties during the nomination process and were denied the opportunity to file their papers in certain constituencies. He further raised concerns over “chappa” or bogus voting, claiming that reports of such malpractice had surfaced at different polling stations during the early hours of voting.
The CPI(M) leader, however, said polling in several other areas was proceeding without major disruption by around 10.30 am.
The allegations could not be independently verified immediately. No official confirmation or denial regarding the specific incidents cited by the CPI(M) was immediately available.
Polling for the Village Committee elections began on Monday across the TTAADC areas, with voting being conducted through ballot papers. The election covers 587 Village Committees, 2,634 constituencies and 4,597 seats. After nominations and withdrawals, polling is being held for 2,950 seats, while the remaining seats have been filled unopposed. Nearly 9.62 lakh voters are eligible to cast their ballots.
The elections are being conducted across 52 blocks and are taking place after a gap of about a decade. The previous Village Committee elections were held in 2016, while the elected committees completed their tenure in March 2021. The subsequent election process was delayed amid the COVID-19 pandemic and legal complications.
Security arrangements have been strengthened across the polling areas, with central and state forces deployed to maintain law and order and facilitate peaceful voting.
The allegations have brought renewed focus on the conduct of polling, access of candidates and polling agents to booths, and the handling of complaints by election authorities.
Polling is scheduled from 7 am to 4 pm on Monday. If required, repolling will be held on October 3, while counting of votes is scheduled for October 5. The entire election process is expected to be completed by October 8.
Agartala, September 27: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday said his government was focusing on developing tourism as a source of economic growth and employment, with efforts underway to improve infrastructure, upgrade tourist facilities and involve local communities in the sector.
Saha made the remarks on World Tourism Day after attending a live listening programme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 138th episode of Mann Ki Baat at Baishnabtilla Community Hall near Amtali bypass here.
Highlighting Tripura’s natural and cultural wealth, Saha said the state possessed several attractions that could draw more visitors and generate economic opportunities.
He said the government had undertaken development and renovation works at temples, heritage sites and tourist destinations across Tripura, while steps were also being taken to improve facilities for visitors.
“Following the path shown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have developed and renovated various temples and heritage sites in Tripura. We are seeing the impact through an increase in tourist footfall,” Saha said.
The chief minister said growth in tourist arrivals could benefit several segments of the economy and contribute to higher Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), besides creating employment and livelihood opportunities.
“Tourism has a major contribution to the economy, including revenue generation through GSDP and other sources. In many countries and regions, tourism has become a strong economic driver,” he said.
Saha said the government was also paying attention to the economic participation of people living in and around tourist destinations.
He said local residents could benefit from tourism-related activities if they were provided with adequate training and skills. Skill development programmes were consequently being promoted to enable people to take up employment and other livelihood opportunities associated with tourism, he said.
The chief minister also stressed that peace and stability were important for sustained development of the tourism sector. He said economic and social progress required a peaceful environment that could support continued tourist movement.
Saha said Tripura was currently ranked second among the northeastern states in terms of GSDP.
He attended the Mann Ki Baat programme organised by the Badharghat Mandal of the BJP along with BJP MLA Mina Rani Sarkar and senior party leaders.
In a post on X marking World Tourism Day, Saha highlighted Tripura’s natural beauty, heritage and cultural traditions and referred to Neermahal and Jampui Hills as destinations with considerable tourism appeal.
He urged greater promotion of Tripura’s tourist attractions and encouraged visitors to explore the state’s diverse offerings.
Agartala, September 27: The CPI(M) on Sunday alleged that the convoy of former Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar was obstructed for nearly 40 minutes in Bamutia and claimed that an escort vehicle was damaged during the incident.
The incident occurred at Kalibazar around 10 am when Sarkar was travelling to attend a party organisational conference in Bamutia, according to CPI(M) leaders.
The party alleged that a group of people blocked the road, bringing the convoy to a halt. It further claimed that one of the vehicles accompanying Sarkar was vandalised during the incident.
CPI(M) leaders alleged that the people involved in the blockade had the backing of the BJP. The allegations could not be independently verified.
According to the party, CPI(M) supporters, including members of its youth wing, reached the location after the convoy was stopped. The situation remained tense for some time before the group allegedly responsible for the road blockade dispersed.
Sarkar subsequently continued towards Bamutia and attended the scheduled organisational conference, where he addressed party workers, the CPI(M) said.
The opposition party condemned the incident and alleged that the obstruction was intended to interfere with its organisational activities ahead of the Village Committee elections.
The incident comes a day before polling for Village Committees under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). Political parties have stepped up campaigning, meetings and organisational programmes in the council areas ahead of Monday’s polling.
The CPI(M) has previously raised allegations of political intimidation and violence during the election process and called for stronger security arrangements. The ruling alliance has rejected the allegations.
The party said the latest incident highlighted the need for authorities to ensure adequate security for political leaders, candidates and workers during the elections.
It also urged the administration to ensure that political parties could conduct their meetings and election-related activities without obstruction.
Sarkar, who served as Tripura chief minister for more than two decades, continues to participate in CPI(M) organisational programmes and election-related activities in the state.
There was no immediate official response from the police or district administration regarding the alleged incident. It was also not immediately clear whether a formal complaint had been filed over the alleged damage to the escort vehicle.
The CPI(M) said it would raise the matter with the authorities and seek action over the alleged obstruction and vandalism.
Agartala, September 27: Polling teams carrying ballot papers, ballot boxes and other election materials were dispatched to polling stations across Tripura on Sunday, a day ahead of the Village Committee elections under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).
The movement of polling personnel and security forces was reported from different parts of the state as the administration completed preparations for Monday’s voting.
In Dhalai district, polling teams from the Ambassa RD Block dispatch centre began moving towards 41 polling stations from around 8 am.
Officials said polling personnel had been instructed to reach their respective stations within the stipulated time and complete all arrangements ahead of the commencement of polling.
Returning Officer and BDO Barnita Biswas said adequate arrangements had been made for the movement and security of polling personnel.
“Our priority is to ensure that all polling personnel reach their stations safely and that the polling process is conducted peacefully,” Biswas told reporters.
She appealed to voters to come to polling stations without apprehension and exercise their franchise while maintaining peace and discipline.
The Village Committee elections are being held after a gap of 10 years, with voters in the ADC areas set to elect representatives to the village-level bodies.
The elections will be conducted using ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines. The paper-ballot system will also be used by young and first-time voters participating in the polls.
Election officials transported ballot papers, ballot boxes and other polling materials to the designated stations as part of the final preparations. Security personnel have been deployed at polling stations and along routes used by polling teams.
Officials were monitoring the movement of polling personnel and election materials to ensure that all stations are ready before voting begins.
The elections follow an extensive campaign period in the TTAADC areas, during which political parties and candidates held meetings, organisational programmes and other campaign activities.
Authorities have appealed to voters, candidates and political workers to cooperate with election officials and maintain peace during the polling process.
With voting scheduled to begin on Monday, the administration is now focused on ensuring the availability of election materials, the presence of polling personnel and security arrangements at all stations.
The dispatch of polling teams marked a key final step in the preparations for the elections, which are being held after a decade-long gap in the ADC areas.
Agartala, September 26:
The pace of 5G expansion and weak mobile connectivity in Tripura’s border areas came under scrutiny at a Telecom Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting on Friday, with West Tripura Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb urging BSNL to strengthen its network infrastructure across the state.
Deb raised the issues during the TAC meeting at BSNL headquarters in Kaman Chowmuhani, Agartala, where he reviewed various concerns related to telecom services, including infrastructure, network expansion, customer service and employment generation.
He said BSNL’s connectivity in border regions needs particular attention, citing gaps in domestic mobile coverage in several stretches. According to Deb, Indian SIM cards fail to provide service for nearly 10 kilometres in some border areas, while signals from Bangladesh-based mobile networks reportedly extend up to 15 kilometres inside Indian territory.
The MP said such gaps can leave residents of border villages without dependable communication facilities. He also pointed to the requirements of security agencies working in sensitive areas, stressing that stronger domestic telecom networks are necessary to support communication and investigative activities.
Deb urged BSNL to expand the number of telecom towers along the international border. He said improved coverage would benefit local communities and enable security agencies to access call records and other relevant telecom data when required during investigations.
He said Tripura’s long international boundary and challenging terrain made it necessary to give greater priority to telecom infrastructure in remote and vulnerable locations.
The MP also reviewed the status of issues raised in earlier TAC meetings. Infrastructure development, customer service, employment generation and network expansion were among the matters discussed. Deb said the meeting would help identify pending issues and determine which ones require further intervention at the central government level.
On 5G services, Deb acknowledged the expansion of BSNL’s 4G network across Tripura but questioned whether the rollout of the next-generation service was progressing at the required pace.
He said the speed and geographical reach of 5G services remained a concern and sought an explanation from BSNL officials on the reasons for the slower-than-expected expansion. He said the matter would be formally taken up to ascertain the current status of 5G deployment and the measures being planned to improve coverage.
Deb also referred to the earlier restrictions on international roaming in parts of the Northeast, which had been introduced amid insurgency-related concerns. He said the restrictions were eventually lifted, although the process took time, and the situation has since improved.
Rajya Sabha MP Rajib Bhattacharjee and senior BSNL officials attended the TAC meeting, which also discussed existing infrastructure shortcomings and possible measures to improve telecom services in Tripura.
The discussions brought renewed attention to the communication challenges faced by people in the state’s border and hilly regions. Deb said stronger telecom infrastructure is needed to improve connectivity for residents while addressing the communication requirements of strategically sensitive areas.
Agartala, September 26: Every year, the approach of Durga Puja brings a surge of activity to Kalyanpur’s idol-making workshops. But for artisans like Bhuban Rudrapal, the festive season is no longer simply a period of increased work. It is also a test of whether traditional idol-making can remain financially sustainable.
Rudrapal, a resident of Kalyanpur Bazar Colony, has been making clay idols for nearly 20 years. His entry into the profession came from necessity rather than choice, after he found that selling fish was not generating enough income to support his family.
In those days, Rudrapal would travel through tribal-dominated areas of Tripura to sell fish. While continuing with the trade, he learned the art of making clay idols from his brother-in-law. The skill gradually developed into a profession, and he eventually left fish vending behind.
“I learned the craft of making idols from clay from my brother-in-law while continuing to sell fish. Later, I left fish vending and took up idol-making full-time. I would make idols at home according to my own designs,” Rudrapal said.
Over the years, his craftsmanship earned him customers in Kalyanpur and nearby areas. His workshop has produced idols of Manasa, Kali, Vishwakarma, Loknath, Bipadnashini, Durga and Lakshmi, among others.
For a traditional idol maker, however, the festive season comes with considerable expenses. The prices of clay, straw, bamboo and paint have risen, while labour costs have also increased. The scarcity of skilled workers has added to the problem, making it difficult for artisans to expand production even when orders increase.
“Compared to earlier, the cost of raw materials has increased significantly. Labour expenses have also gone up. The biggest problem is that it has become difficult to find skilled workers. After meeting all the expenses, there is very little profit left from making an idol,” he said.
The sector also continues to bear the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions on religious celebrations during the pandemic caused a sharp decline in Puja-related activities and reduced demand for idols, affecting artisans who rely heavily on seasonal orders.
Rudrapal said government intervention could provide some relief to traditional artisans. He said easier access to raw materials, financial assistance, skilled manpower and marketing opportunities would help the sector deal with its current difficulties.
This year's Durga Puja, meanwhile, has brought a fresh round of work to his workshop. Rudrapal has received orders for Maa Durga idols from various parts of Kalyanpur, including tribal-dominated areas.
With deadlines approaching, he is working for long hours to complete the idols and ensure they reach their destinations before the festivities begin.
Rudrapal said the craft demands years of experience and considerable effort, but the financial returns no longer match the rising cost of production. He also worries that the difficulties could discourage younger people from entering the profession.
He believes that affordable raw materials, financial assistance, training programmes and better market linkages could provide traditional artisans with more stable livelihoods while helping pass the craft on to future generations.
For now, Rudrapal remains focused on his work. Surrounded by clay, straw and bamboo, he continues to shape idols for the coming Puja, carrying forward a traditional craft while confronting the economic realities of the present day.
Agartala, September 25: The Traffic Police has identified several key stretches in Agartala for intensified monitoring during Durga Puja as the city prepares for a rise in vehicular and pedestrian movement, Traffic SP Kanta Jangir said on Friday.
Nagerjala Bridge, City Centre and Orient Chowmuhani have been identified as potential congestion points, with traffic personnel to regulate vehicle movement based on road conditions and the volume of traffic, Jangir said.
Speaking at a press conference at Traffic Bhavan in the AD Nagar police line, she said the department was putting additional surveillance and enforcement measures in place for the festive period.
No-entry restrictions will remain in force in Agartala from 5 pm to 1 am during the Puja days, she said.
The Traffic Police will also intensify action against unauthorised parking in busy commercial areas, violations of one-way and no-entry rules and prolonged parking of heavy vehicles on roads.
Jangir said officials had interacted with traders, market committees and residents of Maharajganj Bazar to examine recurring congestion and discuss possible measures to improve traffic management.
She urged motorists to follow traffic regulations and park only in designated areas, while appealing to traders, transport organisations and citizens to cooperate with the authorities during the festival.
Traffic personnel will maintain close coordination and enhanced surveillance at important locations throughout the Puja period, she added.
On Puja passes, Jangir said stricter norms had been introduced following concerns over their misuse. Applicants with pending traffic challans would not be issued passes, she said, adding that the measure was based on directions from Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha.
The department is also working with the Directorate of Information Technology (DIT) to develop a digital system for Puja pass processing, she said.
Jangir said challans issued before April 2026 could be cleared through the e-Challan portal, Virtual Court or the physical court. Challans issued after April 2026 would have to be settled through the Traffic Unit and would not be referred to court, she said.
Preparations are also underway to introduce the Next-Gen Challan system, according to the Traffic SP.
Agartala, September 24: Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Thursday inaugurated an Urban Polyclinic at AD Nagar and virtually opened new Ayushman Arogya Mandir buildings at five locations, while highlighting the state’s expanding healthcare infrastructure and declining dependence on treatment outside Tripura.
The newly inaugurated Ayushman Arogya Mandir buildings are located at Radhanagar, Dhaleswar, Jagaharimura, Ujan Abhoynagar and Ramakrishna Shivalaya Ashram.
Speaking at the programme, Saha said the government was working to strengthen healthcare facilities at different levels so that residents could access medical services closer to their homes.
He said around 1,110 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have already been inaugurated across the state. The facilities have expanded the availability of primary healthcare services in both rural and urban areas, he added.
The Chief Minister also pointed to a reduction in the number of patients requiring referrals outside Tripura. He said 555 patients were referred outside the state in 2023, compared with 495 in 2024 and 366 in 2025. In 2026, 161 patients have so far been referred outside the state.
Saha attributed the decline to the strengthening of medical infrastructure and the introduction of advanced treatment facilities within Tripura.
He said the government would continue upgrading the health sector, with attention to both primary healthcare and specialised medical services. The objective, he added, is to develop a more accessible and modern healthcare system capable of meeting people’s needs within the state.
The programme was attended by MP Rajib Bhattacharjee, Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor Dipak Majumder, MLA Meena Rani Sarkar, West Tripura District Magistrate Dr. Bishal Kumar, West Tripura Chief Medical Officer Shankar Chakraborty, senior Health Department officials, elected representatives and other dignitaries.
Agartala, September 24: Melaghar will host the three-day Neermahal Jal Utsav from October 7 to 9, with cultural performances, traditional sporting events and tourism-focused programmes centred on the historic Neermahal and Rudrasagar Lake.
Panchayat Minister Kishor Barman on Thursday took stock of preparations for the annual festival during a meeting at the Melaghar Municipal Council conference hall. He reviewed the arrangements and asked officials to complete all pending work before the event begins.
The celebrations will include cultural presentations based on Mansamangal, along with boat races, swimming competitions and yoga events, according to the programme planned for the festival.
Barman said the Jal Utsav provides an opportunity to showcase the enduring bond between Rudrasagar Lake and the communities around it. He noted that the lake has long been associated with the region’s livelihoods, folk traditions and cultural practices.
The minister also stressed the tourism potential of Neermahal, describing the historic water palace and Rudrasagar as important attractions for visitors. The festival will use the setting to highlight the area’s architectural heritage, natural landscape and cultural traditions.
Visitors from different parts of Tripura and outside the state are expected to attend the event. The combination of cultural programmes, traditional competitions and the scenic surroundings is likely to form the main draw.
Barman invited people to visit Neermahal with their families and take part in the celebrations while experiencing the natural and cultural heritage of Rudrasagar.
The annual festival has also emerged as a platform for promoting tourism alongside local culture and community involvement, drawing attention to the historical and ecological significance of the Rudrasagar region.
Agartala, September 24: A grand replica-inspired mandap modelled on the historic Somnath Temple is set to become a major attraction at this year’s Durga Puja in Srimantapur under Chandipur constituency of Unakoti district, with the organisers estimating a budget of nearly Rs 70 lakh.
The puja is being organised by the Srimantapur Sanghati Sarbojanin Durga Puja Committee, which has been working on the temple-themed structure for more than a month. Skilled artisans from West Bengal have been engaged for the construction.
According to the organisers, the available space does not permit an exact reproduction of the sprawling Somnath Temple complex. However, the mandap has been designed to recreate its distinctive character and spiritual ambience through detailed craftsmanship.
Social Education and Social Welfare Minister and Chandipur MLA Tinku Roy visited the construction site on Thursday morning and took stock of the preparations. He interacted with members of the organising committee and artisans and reviewed the progress of the mandap.
Roy said preparations were progressing as planned and expressed hope that the mandap would be inaugurated on Shashthi by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, as in previous years.
The five-day festivities will include midday meals and prasad distribution for devotees, along with cultural programmes, decorative lighting and the publication of a Puja magazine.
The Srimantapur Durga Puja has attracted substantial crowds in previous years, and organisers and local residents expect the Somnath-inspired theme to generate additional interest this year.
Residents said the initiative combines religious devotion with artistic creativity and reflects the community’s collective enthusiasm for the annual festival.
Agartala, September 23: Class IX students of PM SHRI South Jumerdhepa High School in Sepahijala district were given practical exposure to agricultural activities through an industrial visit organised as part of the implementation of National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF)-aligned vocational education in Tripura.
The visit, focused on the Agriculture Trade, enabled the students to observe workplace practices and understand how concepts taught in classrooms are applied in real-world agricultural settings.
According to a press note, the programme was aimed at helping students gain a better understanding of agriculture as a skill-based and employment-oriented sector while familiarising them with practical aspects of vocational learning.
The visit was conducted under the guidance of the school's Vocational Trainer from Valeur Fabtex Pvt. Ltd., the designated Vocational Training Provider (VTP). It was organised under the leadership of Ikram Hossen, State Coordinator of the organisation, in coordination with the school and the School Education Department.
The initiative forms part of the broader Vocationalisation of School Education programme under NSQF, which seeks to integrate skill development with school education and provide students with practical skills linked to employment, industry and career opportunities.
For 2025-26, the Project Approval Board (PAB) of Samagra Shiksha and the PM SHRI Scheme under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, approved NSQF-compliant vocational education in seven sectors for 191 selected government high and higher secondary schools across Tripura.
The approved sectors are IT–ITeS, Electronics, Agriculture, Organised Retail, Power, Automotive and Telecom.
Of the 191 schools, 138 were selected to introduce a first vocational sector, while another 53 schools were to add a second sector where vocational education was already in operation.
The programme is being implemented through Samagra Shiksha and the PM SHRI Scheme under the School Education Department of the Tripura government, with assistance from the designated Vocational Training Provider.
The Agriculture Trade visit allowed students to move beyond textbook-based learning and gain direct exposure to vocational concepts and agricultural practices.
Such field-based activities are intended to strengthen practical knowledge, workplace awareness, communication and problem-solving skills while helping students explore potential career opportunities in the agriculture sector, the press note said.
The initiative reflects the vocational education principle of “Learning by Doing” and is aimed at helping students develop the practical skills, confidence and awareness required for future education and employment.
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.

Technological advancements: Exploring the use of special effects and innovative filmmaking techniques
Technological advancements have always played a crucial role in the world of cinema, and the battle between Bollywood and South movies in 2023 is no exception. Both industries are known for their grandiose storytelling and larger-than-life visuals, but it is in the realm of special effects and innovative filmmaking techniques where the competition truly intensifies.
In recent years, the Indian film industry has witnessed a remarkable transformation in terms of visual effects. Bollywood movies have embraced cutting-edge technologies to enhance the overall cinematic experience. From breathtaking action sequences to jaw-dropping visual spectacles, filmmakers are pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the big screen. With the advancements in CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) and VFX (Visual Effects), Bollywood is delivering larger-than-life experiences like never before.
On the other hand, the South Indian film industry, particularly in states like Tamil Nadu and Telugu-speaking regions, has always been at the forefront of technological innovation. Directors and technicians in the South have consistently raised the bar when it comes to utilizing special effects to captivate audiences. From mind-bending stunts to seamless integration of CGI, South movies have garnered international acclaim for their technical prowess.
In the battle of cinematic titans, both Bollywood and South movies are constantly exploring new ways to captivate and engage audiences. It is not just about incorporating special effects for the sake of it, but rather using them as a means to enhance the storytelling. Filmmakers are harnessing the power of technology to create immersive worlds, transport viewers to different eras, and bring fantastical creatures to life.
Furthermore, innovative filmmaking techniques are being employed to offer unique perspectives and narratives. From unconventional camera angles to inventive editing styles, directors are experimenting with different approaches to stand out in a crowded industry. These techniques add an extra layer of depth and intrigue to the storytelling, elevating the overall cinematic experience for the audience.
As the battle between Bollywood and South movies rages on, it is evident that technological advancements will continue to play a pivotal role. The competition to deliver visually stunning and technologically groundbreaking films is driving filmmakers to constantly push their creative boundaries. Whether it's Bollywood's grandiose visual spectacles or the South's technical finesse, audiences can look forward to an exciting cinematic showdown in 2023.
Future trends: Predictions for the battle of cinematic titans in 2023 and beyond
As we look ahead to the future of the Indian film industry, it's inevitable to wonder what the battle of cinematic titans between Bollywood and South movies will look like in 2023 and beyond. While it's challenging to make accurate predictions, analyzing current trends and industry dynamics can provide insights into what the future might hold.
One emerging trend that is likely to continue shaping the landscape is the increasing pan-Indian appeal of South movies. In recent years, we have witnessed a surge in the popularity of South movies, not just in their regional markets but also among audiences across the country. This trend is expected to gain further momentum, with South movies becoming a formidable competitor to Bollywood in terms of box office collections and fan following.
Another prediction is the continued emphasis on high-quality content and storytelling. Audiences are becoming more discerning and crave narratives that are engaging, relatable, and thought-provoking. Both Bollywood and South movies will need to focus on delivering captivating stories that resonate with viewers, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
Furthermore, the rise of digital platforms and streaming services is likely to have a significant impact on the battle between Bollywood and South movies. With the advent of OTT platforms, the reach and accessibility of films have expanded, allowing for a broader audience base. This shift may level the playing field and provide more opportunities for South movies to compete with Bollywood on a global scale.
However, it's important to note that Bollywood's massive production budgets and star power will continue to be influential factors. The sheer magnitude of Bollywood's reach, both domestically and internationally, cannot be underestimated. Bollywood movies often enjoy a wide release, extensive marketing campaigns, and a loyal fan following that transcends borders.
In conclusion, the battle of cinematic titans between Bollywood and South movies in 2023 and beyond promises to be a captivating saga. While South movies are poised to gain further prominence and challenge Bollywood's dominance, the industry will witness fierce competition, innovation, and a quest for captivating storytelling. Only time will tell how these trends unfold and shape the future of Indian cinema.

In conclusion, it is crucial to appreciate the diversity and richness of both Bollywood and South Indian cinema.

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.
