AGARTALA, Oct 23 (TIWN): Selfish way to enjoy festival without keeping alternative routes for the travelers and common men of the over-excited few clubs in Agartala led by BJP leaders as Asish Saha, Ram Prasad Pal didn't even spare the patients of ambulance during Bisharjan on Sunday night.

Capital city's few clubs suddenly decided to imitate Mamata Banerjee led Bengal's carnival for which neither police nor AMC were prepared. But the sudden decision of the BJP backed club members have ordered carnival at any cost even if people die or become sick or get delay to reach to an emergency space. The all roads and National Highway were blocked. 

In Bengal to see carnival, people across the city gather to celebrate and just like 15th August security, arrangements are done for the carnivals.

But here in Agartala the highways, national highways were occupied by few clubs which didn't allow people of other clubs to reach their destination due to this experimental carnival excited people. 

For carnival alternative routes are must whereas people celebrate it in order at Kolkata. Kolkata's carnival attended by Mamata Banerjee herself on Dashami but Agartala's few club led carnival attempt (after actual Dashami) became a joke as they bound patients of ambulance to suffer. 

This 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 to North Districts in 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. 

Few newspapers have given editorial condemning this so called "carnival" imitation.

Long distance traveling people suffered a lot on Sunday even on yesterday evenings as they missed buses, cars to reach at Nagerjala bus stand. Complaints are coming in TIWN office asking why Govt has not make alternative route for Dashami Jatra ? The whole traffic went slowly behind the clubs members Bisharjan vehicle.
