Decline in insurgency paves way for development in rural Tripura

Tripura, Oct 03 (ANI): Tarun Das, a rubber tapper, has been coming to Abhicharan Village regularly to work in a rubber garden and earn his livelihood. This wouldn't have been possible some years back when people were not able to come to the village over fears of being abducted by militants. The decline of militancy has changed the face of the village and has significantly impacted the lives of people like Tarun. Situated under the Mohanpur sub-division of West Tripura, Abhicharan Village is inhabited mostly by tribals, and was once a bedrock of militancy. However, with peace returning to the area, rapid development is taking place. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana, bridges and roads have been constructed, and the village is now well connected with other parts of the state. Oct 3, 2014
