AGARTALA, Nov 18 (TIWN): With another major shameful event for Tripura in the name of Neermahal trip, State Govt under organizing committee has charged the outside artists who came to perform in Northeast Youth Festival to buy "tickets" to enter the Neermahal.

The organizing committee had invited the performers to come in the 'tour' across historical places of Tripura, whereas from Neermahal huge amounts have been collected from the performers.

It has been known that for one plate food, Govt is showing expenditure above Rs. 600 to Rs. 700 whereas foods are of very low quality. 

With all such scam allegations, Congress demanding Judicial Investigation, said that instead of doing proper food arrangement for the performers in the hostels, Kamalpur like places were also decorated with flex of Rs. 36 lakh with banners of the CM. Congress President Birjit Sinha has accused Chief Minister is behind this scam as Sports Minister Manoj Deb was also sidelined from the expenditure issue. CPI-M also have condemned the ongoing scams. 

Youth Festival started on November 15 at the budget of Rs. 4 crores.
