Agartala: Mar 12: The Tripura Legislative Assembly's budget session is set to begin on March 21 and will run for seven days, concluding on April 1. This decision was made unanimously by the Business Advisory Committee, marking a significant shift from previous years. In fact, no budget session in the past 15 years under the previous government had lasted for seven days, making this a historic move under the BJP-led administration ¹.

The extended duration of the session is seen as a commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the budget process. On the first day, additional expenditure allocations will be presented, followed by Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy delivering the full budget. The government's approach aims to ensure a comprehensive discussion on financial matters, with a focus on detailed scrutiny of the proposed allocations.

This move is expected to set a precedent for robust legislative procedures, allowing for in-depth discussions and fostering greater accountability in the state's governance. The session is expected to be a significant event in Tripura's political landscape, marking a shift towards more open and transparent financial deliberations.
