AGARTALA, Sep 29 (TIWN): Agartala Red Lotus club is highlighting on the forgotten rural Bengal culture this year.
Addressing the media a senior club member Dulal Chakraborty said, "In 1954 this club had started its journey on Tripura's soil. After discussing with the locals, we have set the theme that has been stressed upon the rural culture as the rural culture is now on the verge of extinction".
