Agartala city very very good place but there are m
Dec 05, 2017 09:47 PM 1924 Views (via iOS App)

Hello friends,


My native place is Agartala and I born in bottom in Agartala city. The city is very small but it could be better than all other North East all the cities but still I like my city.


There are many drawback which I am going to share about the city, like the complete city I couldn’t see anywhere properly maintained or clean the city more about the government I will play in the local people everyone one to clean their own property not outside of the house. The city is underdevelop but there are many political corruption and nowadays there are many corruption is going on maybe this is one of the reason for undeveloped the city.


Also the transportation of the city it’s not that improved and also there are many visiting places which is very nice and attractive but because of transportation issue and properly not maintain the places it’s not that famous and there will be very less visitor.


I believe that all the people of in the city should not be completely depend on government people supposed to make develop their own so that the city will be one of the famous city in north-eastern part of India.


There are many places which is very good to visit in Agartala city like Ujjonto prasad, Laxmi marayan bari, There are many Park which is still under developed in the city, and many more temples and Visit a place surround Agartala which is really awesome place.


If I comes to explain about hotels there are very less because visitors allies until and unless the city complete the Development visitor will be not interest to go for visiting and safety wise it is now much better but transportation it’s not that good.


Thank you

Beauties of the city lies in it's Ujjayanta prasad, heritage park, rose valley park and much more.


Hotels here are really good with good services and food.


People here are safe although having an international boundary

Agartala- a rapidly developing city in North East
Jun 25, 2015 01:27 PM 16453 Views

I have read the review on Agartala here on MS which is quite back dated as written in 2003.  So, I am writing a review on the present Agartala.


I feel encouraged to write this review as myself having ancestral root in Tripura and a frequent visitor to the capital of Tripura.


North east India is often treated as ignored or neglected child of mother India. And, Tripura is no exception being surrounded by Bangladesh on its 3 sides, it has the narrow link to the greater India through Assam.


Origin: Despite all these odds, Agartala has rapidly emerged as a developing city in north eastern India and now the 2nd most popular and developed city in this region. Tripura was an independent state ruled by Manikya Dynasty for many years before it joined Indian Territory in the year 1949. It got the recognition of a state in the year 1972.


Overview: Agartala is a city with around 5 lac population. It is a small city compared to other non metro cities in many states of India, but still it is having all the facilities and amenities required for modern life style. The city still carries the legacy of Tripura royal family depicting the rich traditional back ground of this place.


Some of the important residential areas of the city are Ramnagar, Joynagar, krishnanagar, Abhoynagar, Banamalipur, kalyani, A.D Nagar, Shibnagar etc.


Communication:The only airport in Tripura is located in Agartala. You can fly to Kolkata, Guwahati, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad from Agartala. Agartala rail station has also been set up in the year 2008, which has been a dream for the people of Agartala for so many years! Now, trains are available to ply between places in North and Dhalai Tripura.


One can also go up to Lumding station in Assam directly from Agartala railway station. Apart, night super luxury buses are still available to go to Guwahati or Silchar in Assam. So, communication system has really improved a lot. Recently, with inauguration of Kolkata-Dhaka-Agartala bus service the communication system is supposed to get a new dimension.


City Life: Agartala has a nice and moderately paced city life. So, you can enjoy the luxuries of a city but always in a calm and peaceful environment. City Center located in the heart of the city in Paradise Chowmuhani is the new sensation. It is the hot spot of young generation in the city. It is now considered to be the prime zone to hang out. It has several branded shops, top quality restaurant, multplex cinemal hall and auditorium. It can be compared with any place located in metros like Kolkata. So, it is a must visit place for a tourist.


Apart, you can surely visit the Big Bazar and adjacent Rupasi Multiplex. Cinema halls in the city was shut down for long years, so people had no option to watch movie in theater.But, now with these two multiplexes, cinemas are released simultaneously in Agartala too.


If you are new to this city and want to do some marketing, just visit Hawker's Corner area in the main city, which is like Gariahat market in Kolkata.  There is a big market named Bangladesh Market by the local people near Battala Market, and which is a big market for elctronic goods, home appliances, dress materials, winter garments etc. Elite people do not like to visit this place much, still you can get some top quality products at an affordable price. For Chinese products, this market is your best option.


Tripura is famous for its bamboo products and some of them are being imported to foreign countries. If you are keen to have a glimpse of these excellent handi crafts, just visit Purbasha, a store of handicrafts products, handloom and sericulture products managed by Government of Tripura. Prices are high but all these items are really awesome and worth purchasing.


Agartala has some quality restaurants in the heart of the city. They are capable to provide you mouthwatering dishes in both Indian, Chinese, Continental cuisine. Apart, you will get plenty of simple rice meal hotels, bakeries and confectioneries and sweet shops scattered around the city. As  majority of the population in Agartala is Bengali, food culture is more or less same to that of Kolkata.


Medical Facility: Agartala Government medical college, that is, G.B hospital and Indira Gandhi Memorial hospital, Hapania Hospital have improved a lot as far as infrastructure and facilities are concerned. The city can also take pride in its one and only super specialty hospital named ILS. Overall, the health sector has really improved for last couple of years and people are treated and cured for even serious ailments.


Education:Agartala has always a passion for education. Tripura University, located  in Suryamaninagar, 12 KM away from the capital is excelling day by day. Apart, this city has some top notch schools conducting either state board, CBSE or ICSE curriculum. These schools have been producing bright scholars year after year. NIT Agartala( previously Tripura Engineering College) is another example educational excellence in the state. The state has medical colleges too.


Maharaja Birbikram College(MBB College), established in the year of 1947, is a place of top quality education in science, arts and commerce streams. There are several other colleges in the city with proper infrastructure and education facility.


Tourist Attraction:Agartala has several places to attract the tourists. For the religious minded people there are several ancient temples to visit. Some of the temples worth visiting are Chaturdash Devta Mandir in old Agartala, Laxmi Narayn Temple, Durga Temple, Shiva Temple to name a few.


Ujjayanta Palace is another prime attraction in Agartala where the royal family stayed and later it was converted to the legislative assembly hall. It is an nice example of royal legacy of Tripura kingdom.


Rose Valley park located in Madhuban, a few Kms away from the capital city, is a great amusement park to spend a day with your family and friends.


Apart, Maa Tripurasundari temple located 55 Km away from the city which is a very popular temple and visited by several distinguished personalities and celebrities on several occasions. A grand festival with fair is organised every year in the temple premise with pomp and grandeur on every Diwali.


Apart, a tourist can visit Sipahijala Wid Life Sanctuary, Nirmahal( a palace  in the lake built by the kings of Tripura), Kasba Kali Temple from Agartala. Echo Park is also a new tourist destination situated in the lap of Baramura Hills. All these places can be visited as single day trip from the capital.


Culture:  Mostly habituated by the Bengali, Agartala has a long tradition of being a place of  Bengal art and culture. It is considered as second kolkata to many people. Apart, local Tripuri culture is also present in the city and you can see a nice amalgamation of both these culture in Agartala. People speak in Bengali, but Hindi and English are well understood too. Durgapuja, Diwali are celebrated  with great enthusiasm. Apart, Kharchi puja, Ker Puja are also celebrated in the city by the tribal community  and Bengali people also take part in the process. Xams, Eid are also celebrated here.


There are lots of cultural programs, exhibition organised in Rabindra bhavan( old house of music legend Sachin Dev Burman), Town hall and newly constructed Najrul Kala khestra. It is a happening city in terms of cultural aspect and festivals. People eagerly wait for the Book Fair in every winter followed by other fares like Pushpa Mela, Shilpa Mela, Khadya Mela etc.


Sukanta Academy is another interesting place for the children to learn and explore space related information and astronomy.


Rabindranath Tagore had a strong bonding with the kings of Tripura. He visited the state couple of times. Malancha Niwas, Kunjaban Palace, Rabindra Kanan are some of the places associated with the famous poet and worth visiting for the tourists too. All these places have historical importance. Rabindranath Tagore used to stay in Malancha Niwas when he visited Tripura.


Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya, the then king of Tripura was very much impressed with Tagore and also helped him  while the poet was in the process of setting up Shanti Niketan. He wrote some of his novels, dance drama based on the Tripura.


Accomoadations:  There are several hotels to stay here for the tourists as well as for the persons coming on business tour. Hotel Zinger, Hotel Welcome Palace, Langtarai Guest House, Royal Guest House, Hotel Rajdhani, Hotel City Center are some of the popular hotels in the city.


Tripura is always considered to be a  good host for the people coming from other states. So, people from all parts of the country are always welcome to this tiny state. You will enjoy the simplicity of a small town mixed with the amenities  of a developing city in Agartala.


Revel in the remote land

Agartala the northeastern capital city is one of the seven sisters, (the seven states of the northeast are called so). It is difficult to reach there because there is no train link to the place, as to reach it we have to travel around bangladesh from Calcutta. The only way is to reach is by flight from Calcutta or Guwahati or take a bus from the nearest Kumarghat or Dharmnagar railway station. The roads are quite all right even though it is a remote place.


The locals are people who came in as refugees from Bangladesh after partition so they are strongly biased against Bangladesh. They speak the local dialect Bangla. It is an unrefined dialect of Bengali. Knowing Hindi will make you comfortable enough, but have to speak slowly to make the locals understand it. They look up at strangers with awe but are very helpful and friendly. Everybody here is a music lover and singer too especially the Rabindra Sangeet. Also lover of football matches, their tastes are similar to the Bengalis of Calcutta. Rasagollas, Channa paayesh, sandesh are the staple sweets which are available at every corner of the city. No function is complete without these sweets, loochi (version of puris) and meat. Durga Puja is celebrated with lot of fanfare as also Saraswathi and Kali puja. Pandals are erected at every cross roads on these festive days.


There are very many beautiful places to see in and around Agartala. Everyone who visits this place feels closer to the creator because of the unspoiled beauty of nature. The Sephahijala Wildlife Sanctuary- is where animals are kept in their natural surroundings. There are temples to see where Mother Durga/Kali is enshrined and even now animal sacrifices are made to the Goddess on auspicious days. One of the fantastic places is the Neel Mahal a fort island near Agartla, a rare unexplored place that is very picturesque and romantic. The State Assembly building is wonderful and a place to be seen. The climate is humid with torrential rains and the temperature goes down to nearly 5 degrees celsius at peak winter season.


I stayed there for nearly three years and enjoyed my stay. I was noticed because I used to practice as a lawyer before the High Court Bench of Guwahati that used to visit the Agartala High court for a week every month. As the only woman and a non-local at that, I was recognized even at the local shopping center. The people of Agartala are very highly politically motivated. Everybody strongly supports either the ruling or the opposition. Every other day a bandh is called by one of the parties. Unemployment is at the peak with no industries in this state. The locals are either employed with the Government or work as teachers.


The state is rich in natural gas but is flared away as there is no infrastructure to make use of it.


There are no eat-outs restaurants or food parlors. Entertainment is nil. The vegetables are locally grown and the rest imported from Calcutta. As these vegetables have to be brought in by air, being perishable commodities are very expensive.


The locals don’t encourage outsiders to set up business in the city. They believe only in local entrepreneurship.


The local bamboo crafts are world famous and have outlets all over India.
