AGARTALA, April 9 (TIWN): With few splashes of rain, Agartala city started sinking again under water-logging but in 2018 Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb while busy in media publicity by walking on water-loggings asked people to give one year to him to diminish the water-logging problem of the city. On Tuesday, various parts of Agartala City were under heavy-water logging which disrupted human, vehicle movement pathetically. Huge publicity was gained by Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb in 2018 by walking on knee-level water at Agartala city, blaming the previous CPI-M Govt, assuring no more water-logging will be seen in 2019. At first he said, in 2018 there would not be any water-logging and then he modified his claim asking the people of Tripura to give him one year and there would not be any such water-logging since 2019. On May 18, Chief Minister Biplab Deb slamming the previous CPI-M govt for constructing unscientific drainage system across the city Agartala in last 25 years said that BJP Govt will now solve all the issues.

Biplab Deb said “Now Govt has changed and so the work culture will also be changed. Within 15 days I have ordered to recover the drainage system of the city. Hence, no flood this year will be experienced”.

Then after a month he said, “It’s not possible for me to compete all works within 15 days or 1 month and when already monsoon has been started, work can not be continued much in drainage system's recovery, but from 2019 there will be no flood”.

Biplab Deb also said, huge funds came from centre for smart-city and city-development. But after 1 year one month of passage the situation is as ‘horrified’ as before.

Primr Minister Modi on his Sunday’s rally in Tripura claimed that BJP Govt has worked a lot for the state already and from roadway to cities all are developing, water-ways are developing, but ironically the water-ways have been developed on the heart of the city today as in last 1 year even though 1300 crore were wasted for CM, Ministers, leaders personal uses but Agartala city could not be changed. Across the state same condition is going on either road-way or drainage maintenance.

Now, questions are raising on Biplab Deb’s tall claims about ‘No Flood from the next year’.
