He emphasized the need for periodic maintenance and improvement of existing infrastructure, including roads and drainage systems, even in areas where they already exist.
The mayor actively engaged with residents to gather input on the ongoing and proposed development work. He expressed his determination to beautify the city of Agartala, ensuring that it remains a vibrant and livable space for its citizens.
Additionally, Mayor Majumder announced a financial allocation for the every Ward area on the occasion of the upcoming Shardotsav, aimed at expediting development projects in the area ahead of Durga Puja festivities. This move is expected to empower councilors to complete the allocated projects promptly. Looking ahead, Mayor Majumder assured that the inspection and evaluation of various ward areas will continue in the coming days, demonstrating the administration's unwavering dedication to the overall welfare of Agartala's residents.
