The electoral battle has the ruling BJP locked in battle with the Trinamool Congress which is foraying into the Northeast and elsewhere to establish itself as a national party, and with the CPI(M) which the saffron party had dethroned from power in this State some years ago
Amid accusations of political violence, civic polls to Tripura’s 14 municipalities began on November 25.
TMC officials on November 25 claimed that a party worker was beaten up in ward number 5 in Agartala, the State capital. However, the police could not confirm any untoward incidents.
CPI(M) State secretary Jiten Chaudhary also alleged that the ruling party was indulging in voter intimidation in south Tripura district and obstructing party workers from functioning freely.

After more-than-two-year wait, the flyover at Goripalayam junction will be commissioned on Saturday. As of now, the main arm of the new flyover, named after freedom fighter Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, will help to decongest vehicular movement from Tamukkam junction till Nelpettai junction on East Veli Street.
