The Agartala municipal authority has fast‑tracked road repairs ahead of Durga Puja, targeting completion by October 10.
The civic administration of Agartala has stepped up its preparations for the upcoming Durga Puja celebrations. Road‑repair and widening projects on major thoroughfares have been prioritized to accommodate the expected influx of devotees and visitors.
Officials have set October 10 as the deadline for completing the works, ensuring that key routes to pandals and cultural venues are ready before the main puja days begin. Additional crews and resources have been deployed to meet the tight schedule.
The accelerated timeline aims to minimise traffic congestion and enhance safety for the large crowds that gather each year for the festival. Local residents have expressed relief that the city is taking proactive steps to manage the surge in footfall.
The municipal body has also coordinated with traffic police to implement temporary traffic management measures once the roads are opened, further smoothing the flow of vehicles during the festive period.
