AGARTALA, April 24 (TIWN): COVID-19 pandemic period hinted a massive corruption in Tripura after Law Minister Ratanlal Nath himself brought serious allegations against State Health Dept on April 24, 2020 saying, he already got documentary evidence already. On April 24, Ratanlal Nath said, “Tomorrow I will open my mouth.
