The Chief Minister also highlighted the state government's commitment to improving healthcare facilities and ensuring better medical services for the people of Tripura.
He said that homeopathic and Ayurvedic medical colleges had been established as part of efforts to strengthen the state's healthcare infrastructure and expand access to different systems of medicine.
Chief Minister Saha also added that trauma care centres had been introduced in every district hospital across the state to provide timely medical assistance to patients requiring emergency treatment.
"Due to the development of the healthcare system in the state, it has now become possible to perform kidney transplants within Tripura," he said, highlighting the expansion of specialised medical services in the state.
The Chief Minister added that several development projects inaugurated on Saturday were aimed at improving civic amenities and providing better services to residents of the Bishalgarh Municipal Council area.
He also told the gathering that construction of an eco-friendly electric furnace was underway in the Bishalgarh Municipal Council area and that the project would be completed soon.
The initiative is expected to add to the civic infrastructure of the municipal area, while the ongoing road and drainage projects are intended to improve basic amenities for local residents.
As part of the programme, various protective equipment was distributed among 100 sanitation workers serving in the Bishalgarh Municipal Council area.
The initiative was aimed at supporting sanitation personnel in carrying out their duties while paying attention to their safety and protection.
In another significant development, seven Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the subdivision were awarded National Quality Assurance Certificates in recognition of their compliance with the prescribed quality standards.
