We must avoid using single-use plastic, and we are working on it. We are also striving to keep the state and city clean. The Agartala Municipal Corporation has been awarded at the national level twice. We are keeping a close watch on everything. We are addressing the basic problems of the people," he said.
Dr. Saha mentioned that the BJP has undertaken several social initiatives, which began on September 17.
“These programs started on September 17, in celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. Keeping three legends in focus – PM Modi, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, and Mahatma Gandhi – the BJP has organized many social events. Today is the final day.”
Additionally, Dr. Saha informed that the BJP's target for its membership drive in Tripura is 12 lakh, which will be achieved, and the membership in 2019 was around 6.5 lakh.
Dr. Saha also extended his best wishes for Mahalaya and Durga Puja, saying, "In childhood, we used to eagerly wait for Mahalaya. Maa Durga has arrived.
