AGARTALA, Oct 26 (TIWN): Compare to any other years, this year the capital witnessed less crowd of people outside the capital during the Durga Puja. People from Dharmanagar, Manu, Kailashahar, Kumarghat, Ambassa and other areas could not enjoy the Puja celebration due to the suspension of the railway service.
People who use to come to Agartala within no time boarding train, now they had to use the NH-44 which would have taken long time for them to reach here. But this time with the suspension of the Railway service hits the crowd of the capital of Tripura.
Earlier, people from various parts used the rail route to reach Agartala within 3 to 4 hours at night. Whole night they use to enjoy Durga Puja at Agartala and next day in the morning they use to leave for their home which was not possible this year.
It is to be mentioned here that the train service is already suspended from October 1 until the conversion is ended. The service will remain suspended during the construction work and laying BG tracks replacing the meter gauge.
Despite of devotees from outside capital could not visit the capital, people thronged in to the pandals from the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the Durga Puja celebration.
However, once the BG conversion work is ended successfully, people can travel to any other parts of the country from Agartala. Besides, Agartala station is all set to receive a bee storming gathering of passengers following which another entry point would be constructed here in Agartala.
