BJP govt sanctions Rs 30 cr for Tripura tribal council to pacify its ally

Agartala, Oct 10: Tripura chief minister Manik Saha on Wednesday sanctioned Rs 30 crore to execute six vital development projects in the tribal areas of the state.

The authorities of the TTAADC, governed by the ruling BJP’s ally Tipra Motha Party (TMP), have been demanding for the past many months to sanction funds to implement various developmental projects for the tribals, who constitute one-third of Tripura’s four million population.

Taking to X, Tripura CM Manik Saha said, “The state cabinet has sanctioned Rs 30 crore to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) for the execution of six vital development projects.”

“Our government remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing infrastructure, livelihoods, education, healthcare, and the overall quality of life for the Janajati communities in the Sixth Schedule areas,” Saha said.

The six projects include an extension of a community centre and operationalisation of the Mobile Medical Unit (Rs 10 crore), the construction of an auditorium (Rs 10.30 crore) and the construction of a mini stadium with a grandstand in TTAADC areas.

Debbarma said in a post on X: “After the signing of the Tiprasa accord on the 4th of March the first lot of funds have been allocated to the TTAADC. I am thankful that the Hon CM has listened to some of our requirements and taken this decision.”
