AGARTALA, Oct 22 (TIWN): Another selfish way of celebration was observed in Agartala on Sunday during Dashami Jatra governed by BJP leaders led not only heavy traffic jams on national highway but ambulance could not move due to unruly BJP leaders, supporters led Dashami Jatra.
Many club members of distant areas couldn't travel for celebration as Agartala clubs (BJP backed) blocked the national highway. On Shashthi night state witnessed Milan Chakra club's national highway blocking for the sake of BJP backed programme in the pandal made over National Hihway.
The BJP leaders as Ram Prasad Pal, Ashish Saha didn't bother for District Administrations law which were maintained however in other places.
From South tp North Tripura all clubs were taken for immersion routine-wise, whereas in Agartala few clubs yesterday decided to go for joint celebration and thus left the whole transport system paralyzed.
When Agartala roads are small, narrow such unruly activity of BJP supporters fueled resentment but nobody could raise voice. Such unorganized Dashami Jatra didn't occur in Tripura in last two decades.
Other subdivisions however didn't undergo such critical situations.
