Building modern cities, villages will shape developed Tripura: CM Manik Saha
Agartala, July 24
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Thursday said that a developed Tripura will be built through the construction of modern cities and modern villages, and the digital system will be further strengthened to provide various government services to the people of the state more quickly.
CM said this while inaugurating various people-oriented projects of Agartala Municipal Corporation at Swami Vivekananda Maidan in Agartala on Friday.
He said that digital services will be developed in all municipal areas of the state along with Agartala Municipal Corporation. The main goal of the state government is to work for the welfare of the people of the state.
"We need goodwill for work. Because of this goodwill of the present government, new development projects are being implemented in every part of the state, including Agartala city. Government employees, officials, and public representatives will have to work together to implement every development project under the Agartala Smart City Mission and other development projects of the state in a transparent and timely manner," he said.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi always believes in work.
"The state government also wants to move in that direction through work. To live a good life, one needs an affordable lifestyle. That is why the government wants to move forward by implementing more and more development projects to make people's lives better and more affordable. Instead of being complacent, everyone should work together with the aim of implementing development projects in a beautiful and transparent manner. By electing public representatives, the public has given them the responsibility of carrying out public service work. They have to earn trust and confidence by working for the welfare of the people," said Saha.
He also said that Agartala city is developing as a promising modern city in the northeastern region. "The state government is working to protect its cultural and historical heritage while developing Agartala city as a modern city. The success of the work can be realised only when the common citizen appreciates the work in their own words after experiencing comfort in daily life"
The CM called on everyone, including every club and social organisation, to come forward with awareness to keep the environment of Agartala city clean, healthy, and completely drug-free, the CMO said.
At the programme, the Chief Minister inaugurated the Sabuj Sena, Chandinamura Waste Transfer Centre, Amar Agartala App, and 51 mini vehicle projects by pressing buttons. He also formally handed over a state-of-the-art smoke cannon for mosquito control to the municipal corporation workers at the programme.
Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor and MLA Dipak Majumdar, Deputy Mayor Manika Das Dutta, Tamal Majumdar, Director of the Urban Development Department, and Agartala Municipal Corporation Commissioner Saju Bahid A were present at the programme.

Beautiful initiative! The Sabuj Sena and waste transfer centre show real intent. But I wish they'd also talk about improving rural roads and internet connectivity in villages—digital services won't help if there's no signal. Bas, one step at a time.
CM's call for a drug-free Agartala is much needed. The drug problem has been destroying youth in the northeast. Glad to see the government taking steps beyond just infrastructure. Development must also include social health.
Have lived in Agartala for years. It's nice to see these projects, but honestly, the city still struggles with basic drainage and water supply during monsoons. Smart city is good, but the fundamentals need attention first. 🙏
Honest question: Are these projects being implemented with local feedback? Too often, development is top-down without consulting the actual residents. But I do appreciate the focus on transparency—hope it's not just a slogan. Let's wait and watch.
The Amar Agartala App sounds promising! If it can truly streamline services like tax payments, grievance redressal, and information, it'll be a game-changer. Digital governance is the future—hope the elders and less tech-savvy are also considered in the rollout.
