Agartala, September 24, 2025: Ahead of the upcoming Durga Puja festivities, the 8-Town Bardowali Mandal on Wednesday organized a clothing distribution program in Agartala, showcasing community service and festive spirit.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha attended the event as chief guest, joined by Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor Dipak Majumder, Tripura State Women’s Commission Vice Chairperson Advocate Madhumita Choudhury, Asim Bhattacharjee, and other dignitaries.
In his address, Dr. Saha underlined Tripura’s cultural and religious significance, noting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the Tripura Sundari Temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas would draw more devotees to the state. “With the redevelopment of the temple under the PRASAD scheme, we expect a sharp rise in pilgrimage that will strengthen our tourism sector and economy,” he said.
The Chief Minister also hailed the rollout of Next-Gen GST on September 22 as a landmark reform. “This is a bold step no government dared to take before. Our Prime Minister has laid the roadmap for Viksit Bharat by 2047,” Dr. Saha remarked.
Highlighting the state’s ongoing transformation under BJP-led governance, Dr. Saha conveyed his Durga Puja greetings, emphasizing unity and cultural pride among citizens.
