DHARMANAGAR, March 12 (TIWN): In the year 2007 a radio station construction work started in Dharmanagar subdivision, with the investment of atleast Rs. 16 crores.But surprisingly, after the passing of 9 years, the authority has failed to inaugurate the radio station at there. Such negligence is nothing but the wastage of central funds, alleged the local people of Dharmanagar.

Till day not a single song or programme has not been done at Dharmanagar radio station, but the Cultural Affair Dept has no concerned about this and thus the radio station remains un-used and half made since years.

The Manik govt. has failed to start the radio station after 9 years also, although he is occupying the chair of CM since 9 years.

No inauguration programme has also been held at there.

Moreover, in 2012, a theft case inside the radio station had hit Dharmanagar,  as including the AC machine and other machinery items had been looted. However, allegation also raised that the constructors were behind this theft activity.

After that theft case, around Rs. 20 lakhs had sanctioned for the re-construction, but with all these, Tripura Govt. has failed to start the radio station at there.

Presently, no work is going on at there and the place has remained as an un-used area, under ‘Prasar Bharati’, ‘All India Radio’.
