AGARTALA, March 1 (TIWN): Poor people in Tripura are undergoing massive financial problems specially in clearing debts from banks like Bandhan Bank, said a survey.

The Bandhan Bank which once gave livelihood to the people here, today due to fall in incomes, the beneficiaries are unable to clear the taken debts.

Along with MGNREGA works' massive downs under the ruling BJP Govt in Tripura, worklessness situations have hit the daily earners’ lives here. The regular rickshaw drivers who are paying Rs. 200 per day the rickshaw owners are unable to earn Rs. 300 per day, said survey in the capital city Agartala whereas in rural and semi-urban areas the situation is worse. Same conditions are being faced by vegetable, fruits, flower sellers in the city.

As slowdown affected the common men and businessmen, so workers’ demands are too at low, witnesses a massive decrease of demand of daily workers by households and businessmen.
