AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, Dec 20 (TIWN): TIWN economic surveys continue at the poor people’s level, which is unfolding tremendous poverty levels, depression of common men due to loss in business and works. Even due to lack of footballs in the market, from rickshaw drivers to hawkers all are undergoing losses. TIWN surveys on Thursday revealed that due to lack of lack of cashes in women’s hands with drops of MGNREGA and other Govt given mandays, a direct affect in the market has aroused and the crisis is visible directly affecting the small scale businessmen. Thus, “Foodlessâ€, “Worklessness†situations are existing across Tripura and Poverty levels are going higher. Simply, BJP Govt’s 20 months has ruined Tripura’s economy due to lack of funds from Centre, hiked taxation and drop of Govt mandays.In the recent economic survey, mouths to mouths public all have to say are “Previous days are no moreâ€, “Income drastically downedâ€, “No workâ€, “huge debts†etc.
The ruin in the rural economy which spread soon in urban bodies too started with MGNREGA and other Govt run projects works drastic down in the state, escalating poverty, affecting markets and massive commodity prices, added by taxations.

Report says, Tripura in last two decades hasn’t undergone such economic situations, poverty, starvation which recently led 6 starvation, poverty related deaths. When economic distresses tuned lives miserable, unnecessary sudden introduction of controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) has done the ultimate damage.
Tripura name is nationally pronounced today due to its violence and emergency situations, trains, flights services are halted. The indefinite strike called by regional parties against CAB was called off after a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah was assured but so far no permanent solution came out and the whether again there will strike, whether CAB related uncertainty among the indigenous people will be ended nothing can be said. Such situations were expected as regional parties not only cleared their stands against CAB but various protests took place against CAB for a long time.

What happened due to CAB has only caused more distresses in the poverty gripped state further.
A known Tripura, suddenly turned so unknown, so predictable, so intolerant caused massive violence related property losses, damages to the common men but those voices are unheard.
Dhalai, Kanchanpur, Bisramganj severe losses caused in damages and not only common men were attacked but few agitators have been reported injured and one’s face was burnt in acid. How the Government to be helping them, it is under question mark.
CAB although has distracted certain minds from the economic situation but TIWN has continued its communication with the working classes and how the people of the capital city Agartala are undergoing.
