Agartala, Apr 21: Chief
Minister Biplab Kumar Deb yesterday met Principal Secretary of Prime Minister’s
Office (PMO) Nripendra Mishra in Delhi to pursue the assurance given to him by
the Centre.
The chief minister submitted the brief of the list of
requirements to the principle secretary.
Deb reiterated him that Prime Minister and Finance Minister had made several promises before the assembly election and unless additional financial support is extended from the Centre, it would not be possible to fulfill the promises.
He asked for a special financial assistance of Rs 20,000 Cr that includes an additional grant for implementation of 7th CPC and to manage the financial burden of the previous government to the tune of Rs 11,000 Cr.
The chief minister also requested Misra to grant one time relaxation of academic and professional qualification laid down by National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE) for filling up the 12,222 posts of teachers.
Deb also sought the attention of PMO to look into the matter of CBI enquiry into the murder of two journalists of Tripura – Shantanu Bhowmik and Sudip Datta and 63 cases of chit fund, which have been sent to Department of Personnel & Training for ensuring CBI investigation.
Demanding an agriculture university in Tripura, Chief Minister highlighted that the state economy is based on agriculture and about 50 per cent population is dependent on agriculture activities. Setting up of a Central Agriculture University will greatly help the state. He told the principal secretary that the basic building blocks for the proposed University exist in Tripura.
Seeking an AIIMS like health institution in Tripura, Deb pointed out that the Northeastern region as a whole and Tripura in particular lacks in specialized healthcare facilities, due to which a large number of poor patients have to go to Delhi and other parts of the country for treatment.
The AIIMS like Institution in Tripura will not only benefit people of Tripura but also people of neighbouring lower Assam and Mizoram. Moreover, it would attract large number of patients from eastern Bangladesh which would not only be a good source of foreign exchange but also help in fostering better relations with Bangladesh.
Deb claimed that the Principal Secretary assured that all the issues would be properly examined and assured that appropriate actions would be taken at the earliest.
Chief Minister also called on the BJP national president Amit Shah. UNI
