Agartala: Nov 22: Purbasha was in a neglected state during the previous government's tenure, turning into a hub for anti-social elements.

This was stated by Purbasha Chairman and MLA Kishor Barman at a function held to celebrate Tribal Day.

The Tribal Welfare Department celebrated Tribal Day at Pragya Bhavan, Agartala on Friday. Purbasha Chairman and MLA Kishor Barman was present at the event.
