Steps being taken to restore peace: Tripura CM

Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Monday stated that effective measures are being taken to ensure law and order in Kadamtala, located in the North District.

He said that the situation in the area is now under control and peaceful.

Saha made these remarks while inaugurating the Durga Puja festivities at the Green Arrow Club in Pratapgarh, Agartala.

Speaking about the incident in Kadamtala, he assured the public that the state government, along with the home department and local administration, is actively involved in maintaining peace.

"The situation is fully under control, and we will continue to take all necessary actions to uphold peace in the area," the Chief Minister stated.

Following a forceful subscription for Durga Puja, communal violence took place between the two religions leading to the massive destruction of properties including shops and houses.

The Government has also clamped 163 BNSS to restore the law and order in the area.

While discussing Durga Puja, Saha highlighted Tripura's longstanding tradition of celebrating the festival harmoniously.

"The Puja festivities began on Tritiya, and I participated in the inauguration on Chaturthi. Today, on Panchami, I have come again to be a part of the celebrations. Everywhere you go, there's a palpable sense of joy. However, there are always some who attempt to disrupt this peaceful environment," he said.

He also urged the public to remain vigilant during the celebrations. "Tripura has a beautiful tradition of organizing Durga Puja, and I hope everyone is enjoying these festive days. We extend our heartfelt wishes to the people of Tripura," Saha added.
