AGARTALA, June 18 (TIWN): Rain caused massive suffering for the people of Agartala on Sunday. Vehicles were stuck, people walked at waist level water in the city as flood-like situation erupted due to rain. The rain started and within less than half and hour the chaos started. Thousand crore’s SMART City could not give any relief in 6 years of BJP Govt to the people of Agartala. So, water logging hit Agartala city on Thursday night just after half an hour of rain. On Sunday, people who went out for shopping or movies and students who were outside while returning from tuition got stuck as the city turned immovable.
BJP before coming into power promised that there will zero water logging in Agartala city if BJP comes to power, but after 6 years of Govt, nothing could be developed much.
In water-logging control, only some new machines were installed but what was promised about SMART City it could not be done.
However, thousands of evictions took place in the last 6 years of BJP Govt in the name of SMART City and a lot of parking charge, increase in rents and other taxes were started by this Govt.
