According to the Chief Minister, the honour reflects the hard work of teachers across Tripura. Moreover, Saha described Debnath’s achievement as a proud moment for the state.

Sabroom School Makes Notable Progress

PM SHRI Class XII Girls’ School in Sabroom has a long history. The school was established in 1960.

Over the years, the institution has developed several modern facilities. These include smart classrooms and science laboratories.

In addition, the school has an Atal Tinkering Lab. Students can learn robotics and other practical skills there.

Furthermore, the institution provides vocational education and self-defence training. Students also have access to a library and sports facilities.

Strong Academic Results

The school has also maintained strong academic performance.

It recorded a 100 per cent pass rate in secondary and higher secondary examinations during the 2022–23 and 2023–24 sessions.

Similarly, the school achieved a 100 per cent secondary pass rate in 2024–25. However, its higher secondary pass percentage stood at 92 per cent that year.

Focus on Overall Development

Debnath’s work goes beyond regular classroom teaching. In particular, he has helped guide nearly 700 girl students at the school.

At the same time, he encourages students to participate in sports and cultural activities. Therefore, his approach focuses on both academic learning and personal development.

National Honour for Tripura

Ranjan Debnath was among the teachers selected for the National Teachers’ Award 2026.

Importantly, his recognition highlights the work of teachers serving students in different parts of the country.

For Tripura, therefore, the award marks a significant achievement. It also puts the education sector in South Tripura in the national spotlight.

Finally, Debnath’s achievement could inspire teachers and students across the state. His recognition is another reminder of the important role teachers play in shaping young lives.

Pradyot Says Next Month Crucial for Tiprasa Accord Implementation

Agartala, September 6, 2026: Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarman has said the next month could be crucial for the implementation of the Tiprasa Accord.

Debbarman made the statement after a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha also attended the meeting.

Amit Shah Seeks Progress on Accord

According to Debbarman, Amit Shah asked the Tripura government to move forward with the implementation process.

Debbarman said the government could provide greater clarity on the accord within the next month. He described the period ahead as important for Tiprasa communities.

The Tipra Motha leader shared his views during a Facebook Live session following the Delhi meeting.

Land Rights Among Key Issues

Land rights featured prominently in the discussions, according to Debbarman.

The meeting also covered financial and administrative issues linked to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).

Debbarman said the delegation focused on issues that directly affect indigenous people. He stressed the need for concrete action rather than only political discussions.

Accord Remains a Major Issue

The Tiprasa Accord has remained an important political issue in Tripura since its signing in 2024.

The agreement focuses on several concerns raised by indigenous communities. These include land rights, political issues, economic development, identity, culture and language.

Debbarman has repeatedly called for effective implementation of the agreement. He said the interests of the people should remain the main priority.

Political Future Also Discussed

Debbarman also spoke about Tipra Motha’s political position.

He said the party would consider future political decisions based on the situation on the ground. He indicated that the party’s priorities would remain connected to the interests of the people.

He also stressed the importance of maintaining peace and harmony among different communities in Tripura.

Next Month Could Bring Clarity

The latest meeting has once again put the Tiprasa Accord at the centre of political discussion in Tripura.

The coming weeks could provide a clearer picture of the government’s next steps. People will now watch closely for concrete decisions on land rights and other provisions of the accord.

For Tiprasa communities, the focus will remain on whether the latest discussions lead to visible progress.

The next month could therefore become an important period for the future of the Tiprasa Accord and its implementation in Tripura.

Kailashahar College Tension: TISF–ABVP Face-Off Escalates

Tension Grips Kailashahar’s Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya as TISF–ABVP Face-Off Escalates

Kailashahar, Tripura: Tension gripped Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya in Kailashahar after a confrontation between supporters of the Tipra Motha-backed Tripura Indigenous Students Federation (TISF) and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).

The dispute began when a TISF delegation visited the college to submit a memorandum to Principal Dr Ajit Barman. TISF leaders said they had received permission from the college and police administration before visiting the campus. The organisation said the memorandum raised concerns about issues affecting indigenous students.

TISF Delegation Faces Protest

According to TISF representatives, ABVP supporters stopped the delegation at the college gate. The protesters allegedly closed the gate and raised slogans against Tipra Motha.

The tense situation prompted police, Tripura State Rifles personnel and central security forces to deploy around the college. Security personnel later escorted the TISF delegation into the campus.

The delegation submitted its memorandum to the principal before leaving the college premises under security protection.

ABVP Launches Protest

The situation took another turn after the TISF delegation left. ABVP supporters entered the principal’s office and began a protest.

The protesters later locked Principal Dr Ajit Barman inside his office. ABVP leaders alleged that some people linked to NSUI and SFI entered the campus while posing as Tipra Motha supporters. They also alleged inappropriate behaviour toward female ABVP students and claimed that some students faced pushing during the confrontation.

The allegations from the two groups have not been independently verified.

College Property Reportedly Damaged

The unrest also reportedly caused damage inside the college building. Reports said a curtain stand near the principal’s office broke and curtains were torn. An adjacent office also reportedly suffered damage.

The college’s electricity supply reportedly went off temporarily during the disturbance.

Principal’s Assurance Ends Protest

The ABVP protest continued for several hours. Dr Barman later held discussions with ABVP representatives and asked them to submit their demands in writing.

The principal assured the protesters that he would forward their demands to the appropriate authorities and seek necessary action. Following the assurance, the protesters ended their demonstration and released the principal from the office.

Security Tightened at College

The incident led to a significant security presence around Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya. Authorities stepped in to prevent the confrontation between the rival student groups from escalating further.

The episode has renewed concerns about student politics, campus discipline and safety at the Kailashahar college. Further action will depend on the findings of the authorities and any formal complaints submitted by the groups involved.

For now, the competing allegations remain subject to verification, while college authorities and law enforcement agencies are expected to focus on maintaining peace on the campus.

Assam Agartala National Highway Blockade Begins in Tripura

Assam–Agartala National Highway Hit Again as Surrendered NLFT–ATTF Cadres Begin 72-Hour Blockade

Agartala, Tripura: A 72-hour road and rail blockade began across Tripura on Friday morning. Surrendered NLFT and ATTF cadres launched the protest at 6:00 AM on September 4.

The agitation has disrupted traffic at several locations. Protesters have also blocked railway routes in parts of the state.

The Assam–Agartala National Highway faces disruption as protesters gather at key points. The highway connects Tripura with other parts of the Northeast and plays an important role in the movement of people and goods.

The protesters have raised several demands before the government. They want authorities to address their concerns and take action on issues linked to their demands.

The blockade has created difficulties for commuters and transport operators. Many people use the highway and railway services for daily travel, business and other essential activities.

Local traders and businesses may also face problems if the protest continues for the full 72 hours. Transport disruptions could affect the supply of goods to different parts of the state.

Security personnel and district officials are monitoring the situation. Authorities are also working to manage traffic and maintain essential services in affected areas.

The government may hold discussions with representatives of the protesting groups to find a solution. The outcome of those talks could determine whether the blockade continues as planned.

The situation remains under close watch across Tripura. Further developments are expected as the protest enters its second day.

Commuters should check local traffic and railway updates before travelling through areas affected by the blockade.

Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal: President’s Aide-de-Camp

Meet Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal, the President’s Aide-de-Camp

When the President of India attends an official event, one officer often stands close by. Many people have seen him in photographs and videos. However, few people know his name or his role.

His name is Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal. He serves as the Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the President of India.

An ADC plays an important role during official engagements. The officer assists the President at ceremonies and other important events. The job requires discipline, alertness and professionalism.

Major Sambyal also comes from the Para Special Forces. The unit is known for its tough training and high standards. Its personnel serve in some of the most demanding roles in the Indian Army.

His position places him close to the President during many major occasions. He often remains in the background while the President carries out official duties. Yet, his responsibility remains significant.

For many people, he may look like just another uniformed officer in the background. His role, however, carries great responsibility. He must remain alert and professional at all times.

Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal may not be a familiar name to the public. Still, his dedication reflects the discipline of India’s armed forces.

Behind every important official ceremony, many people work quietly. They rarely seek attention or praise. They simply focus on their duty.

Major Sambyal’s role is a reminder of that commitment.

We salute every soldier who serves the nation with courage, discipline and dedication. 🇮🇳

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Matabari Road Project Begins After Years of Local Demand

Matabari road project, Residents of North Kalaban Gram Panchayat under the Matabari Assembly constituency finally have some good news. On Thursday, work began on a long-awaited road project in the area.

The project will turn the important road connecting Simsima, Kalaban and Ashram Tilla into a paved road. For years, local residents have demanded better road connectivity. However, the poor condition of the road continued to make daily travel difficult.

As a result, residents repeatedly raised the issue with local representatives and government authorities. Finally, their long-standing demand moved closer to reality.

MLA Inspected the Road | Matabari road project

A few months ago, Matabari MLA Abhishek Debroy visited the road along with Public Works Department (PWD) officials. The inspection followed repeated requests from residents.

Following the inspection, the state government approved the road project. Moreover, the government allocated around ₹79.15 lakh for the work.

The project has an estimated cost of ₹79,15,675. Therefore, once the construction finishes, residents of North Kalaban and nearby areas can expect better and safer connectivity.

Traditional Bhumi Pujan Held

Before construction began, organisers held a traditional Bhumi Pujan ceremony. The ceremony followed local religious customs and marked the beginning of the project.

After the ceremony, the organisers held a formal programme at the North Kalaban Gram Panchayat ground. During the programme, MLA Abhishek Debroy officially launched the road work.

Meanwhile, Matabari Panchayat Samiti Chairperson Shilpi Das, PWD official Pranab Das, local representatives and several prominent residents attended the event.

Better Connectivity Expected | Matabari road project

Speaking at the programme, MLA Abhishek Debroy highlighted the importance of good roads in rural areas. According to him, the government continues to improve rural connectivity and basic infrastructure.

Furthermore, he said the new road would make everyday travel easier for people in North Kalaban and neighbouring villages.

Better roads can bring several benefits to rural communities. For example, students can travel more easily to schools and colleges. Similarly, patients can reach hospitals and healthcare centres with fewer difficulties.

In addition, improved roads can help local traders transport goods more efficiently. As a result, better connectivity may also support small businesses and strengthen the local economy.

Residents Welcome the Development

Meanwhile, the start of the project has created a sense of relief and happiness among local residents. After waiting for years, people can now see their demand turning into a real development project.

For this reason, residents are hopeful about the future. They want the authorities to complete the work on time and maintain good construction quality.

Finally, once the road becomes fully operational, people in North Kalaban and surrounding areas are expected to enjoy easier daily travel. More importantly, the improved connection could provide better access to education, healthcare, markets and other essential services.

For local residents, therefore, the project is more than just a new road. It is a step towards better connectivity, easier movement and greater opportunities for the community.

Simple Wave Electric Scooter Launched at Rs 1.09 Lakh: Range, Features

Simple Wave Electric Scooter Launched at Rs 1.09 Lakh: Range, Features

Simple Wave Electric Scooter Launched in India: Price, Range and Features

Simple Energy has launched the Wave electric scooter in India, with prices starting at Rs. 1,09,999 (ex-showroom). This time, the company has taken a different approach by developing the Wave as its first electric scooter designed specifically for family buyers.

Meanwhile, Simple Energy will offer the new scooter in three variants with different battery capacities and claimed ranges. Furthermore, the company plans to begin deliveries from 25 September 2026.

Simple Wave Gets a Family-Friendly Design

Unlike Simple Energy’s sharper and sportier scooters, the Wave uses a more practical and boxy design. As a result, its styling looks more familiar and should appeal to riders who prefer a conventional family scooter.

More importantly, Simple Energy has focused on comfort and everyday practicality. The scooter gets a 920mm-long seat, which provides plenty of room for both the rider and pillion. In addition, the spacious floorboard gives riders more flexibility when carrying everyday items.

Storage space is another major highlight. The Wave offers a 70-litre underseat storage compartment, which is quite generous for an electric scooter. Besides that, riders get two additional storage compartments on the body panels.

There is also a small cubby on the apron. Therefore, riders can use it to keep smaller items such as gloves, documents and other essentials within easy reach.

Motor and Performance

The Simple Wave uses a 6.4kW electric motor. Depending on the variant, the motor can deliver a claimed top speed of either 75kmph or 90kmph.

In terms of acceleration, the Wave and Wave Plus can go from 0-40kmph in 3.3 seconds. On the other hand, the S variant takes around 4 seconds to reach the same speed.

Furthermore, Simple Energy offers several battery options. Because of this, buyers can select a version that better matches their budget and daily riding requirements.

Simple Wave Battery and Range

VariantBattery CapacityClaimed RangeTop Speed
S EBN2.2kWh110km75kmph
S TFT2.7kWh132km75kmph
Wave EBN3.7kWh171km90kmph
Wave TFT3.7kWh171km90kmph
Wave Plus5kWh243km90kmph

At the top of the range, the Wave Plus gets a 5kWh battery and claims a range of 243km. Therefore, this version could suit riders who regularly cover longer distances and want to reduce charging stops.

Meanwhile, the smaller 2.2kWh battery gives the S EBN a claimed range of 110km. Consequently, buyers who mainly ride around the city can consider the more affordable versions.

Suspension and Braking

Simple Energy uses a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Additionally, the scooter rides on 12-inch alloy wheels at both ends.

For braking, the Wave combines a front disc brake with a rear drum brake. This combination should provide adequate stopping power for regular city riding.

Features and Technology

The Simple Wave also gets several technology and convenience features. In particular, the top-end version comes with a 7-inch TFT instrument display.

Along with the TFT screen, the scooter offers smartphone connectivity. Riders can access turn-by-turn navigation, while the display can also show call and SMS alerts.

Furthermore, Simple Energy has included hill-hold assist and traction control. As a result, these electronic aids can make riding easier and more controlled in different traffic and road conditions.

Meanwhile, the lower variants use a negatively lit LCD instrument cluster instead of the TFT display.

Security Features

In addition to its riding and connectivity features, the Wave gets several security functions. It offers geo-fencing and time-fencing, which can help owners keep track of how and where the scooter gets used.

Moreover, theft and tow alerts provide additional security when the scooter remains parked outside the home. As a result, these features could prove useful for family buyers who want extra control over their vehicle.

Simple Wave Rivals

The Simple Wave enters a competitive family electric scooter segment. For example, it will compete with the Ather Konark, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.

However, Simple Energy hopes to differentiate the Wave through its combination of large storage space, a spacious seat and multiple battery choices.

At the same time, features such as traction control, hill-hold assist and smartphone connectivity give the scooter additional appeal.

Simple Wave: Key Highlights

  • Starting price: Rs. 1,09,999 (ex-showroom)
  • Motor: 6.4kW
  • Battery options: 2.2kWh, 2.7kWh, 3.7kWh and 5kWh
  • Claimed range: Up to 243km
  • Top speed: Up to 90kmph
  • Seat length: 920mm
  • Underseat storage: 70 litres
  • Wheels: 12-inch alloy
  • Front brake: Disc
  • Rear brake: Drum
  • Top-end display: 7-inch TFT
  • Deliveries: From 25 September 2026

Verdict

Overall, the Simple Wave represents a significant change in direction for Simple Energy. Instead of concentrating mainly on sporty styling, the company has focused on comfort, storage and everyday usability.

With its 70-litre storage compartment and spacious seat, the Wave could appeal strongly to family buyers. Moreover, the availability of different battery options allows customers to choose a model based on their range requirements.

Finally, the combination of useful technology, security features and a starting price of Rs. 1,09,999 makes the Simple Wave an interesting new entrant in India’s growing electric scooter market.
