Agartala, Feb 12 Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday issued a stern warning, stating that no one would be spared if found spreading and abetting insurgency in the state once again.
After laying the foundation stone and inaugurating several developmental projects worth Rs 40.58 crore, the Chief Minister said that strict action would be taken against those who are found aiding and abetting in the spread of insurgency.
“I am aware that some people are attempting to reintroduce insurgency in Tripura. So, I am warning them, this time, no one will be spared if such attempts are made again. We have all the necessary information. It has taken immense effort to establish peace in the state, and we want comprehensive development at all levels,” said Saha, who holds the Home portfolio.
The Chief Minister further claimed that during the communist era, Tripura witnessed anarchy. “We aim to create a healthy environment in Tripura. The state has now positioned itself as one of the best-performing states in the northeastern region. The government has also prioritised the socio-economic upliftment of women,” he said.
Saha virtually laid foundation stones at a function in West Tripura’s Jirania for several motor stands and transport offices in different parts of the state and inaugurated the Integrated Parking Complex at Puran Bazar in Khowai District.
He said, “Today’s foundation stone laying and the inauguration of various development projects have marked a new milestone, not just in the history of the Transport Department but also in the history of the state.” “Since Narendra Modi assumed office as Prime Minister in 2014, he has given special focus to the development of the northeast through the ‘Act East Policy’. The scale of development being witnessed in the northeast was never seen before. Tripura is also progressing in line with that vision.”
He said that the Transport department's current management would benefit vehicle owners, drivers, and passengers, unlike in the past.
“We are reaching out to people through our work. The Prime Minister has repeatedly emphasised that there is no substitute for work. He has given us the HIRA (Highways, Internet, Railway and Airways) model. The PM is also providing financial assistance for railway modernisation. Due to the efforts of the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, about 12 MoUs have been signed with many organisations and militant outfits in northeastern states, ensuring peace in the entire region. Today, Tripura is free from extremism,” Saha pointed out.
Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury and several other leaders and officials attended the event.
