Tripura defeated Manipur by 75 runs in the Women Cricket Under 19 T 20 League 2018-19, played at Nimpur Ground in Cuttack of Odisha.Tripura in North East India is third-smallest state in the country.It is bordered by Bangladesh to the north, south, and west, and the Indian states of Assam and Mizoram to the east.
The area of modern
'Tripura' was ruled for several centuries by the Tripuri dynasty. The
independent Tripuri Kingdom (or Hill Tippera) joined the newly independent
India in 1949. The Ujjayanta Palace is a
museum and the former palace of the Kingdom of Tripura situated in Agartala,
which is now the capital of the Indian state of Tripura. The palace was
constructed between 1899 and 1901 by the King of Tripura, and stands on the
banks of two lakes surrounded by gardens. It was the home of the ruling Manikya
dynasty until Tripura's merger into India in 1949.Ujjayanta
Palace is now a State Museum; its name was given by Rabindranath Tagore, the
first Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in Asia and a frequent visitor to the
princely state as guest of the Tripura royal family.
Agartala is in news for wrong reasons in recent
past.Sukanta Chakraborty, 36, who was
appealing to the public on behalf of the administration to refrain from
rumour-mongering on social media, himself fell victim of a mass hysteria over
child-lifting that has claimed two lives and left as many as six people injured
in three separate incidents in the past 48 hours, forcing the government to
suspend all mobile internet services for two days. Chakraborty’s
lynching came just hours after Uttar Pradesh resident Zahir Khan, who had been
selling crockery and garments in remote markets of the state for the past 20
years, was killed and three others severely injured after 300-odd mob attacked
them on suspicion of being child-lifters at Murabari in West Tripura district,
about 30 km from Agartala, police sources told Outlook.
The trigger for the three
back-to-back attacks, the sources said, were the alleged reports about illegal
harvesting of the kidneys and other organs of an 11-year-old boy, Purna Biswas,
who was found dead in the Tulabagan area of West Tripura district.Amid reports of clashes between locals and
the police over the incident, chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb took to social
media to debunk the rumours, and claimed that the kidneys and other organs of
the boy were found intact, citing the autopsy report.
The PSU – Oriental Insurance
Co had issued GPA earlier in favour of Governor of Uttar Pradesh for the
coverage of personal accidental insurance benefit up to a maximum of Rs.5.00
lakhs to the head of the family/bread winner of the covered family. Mukhyamantri Kisan Evam Sarvhit Bima Yojna
(earlier name Samajwadi Kisan Evam Sarvhit Bima Yojna) was introduced by the
Government of U.P., insuring Head/Bread winner of the families of farmers and
also for landless farmers, small businessman, labours, shopkeepers, coolies
etc. of the Uttar Pradesh, whose income was below Rs.75,000/- per annum. Personal
Accident policies in general, inter-alia exclude death /injury / disablement (a)
from intentional self-injury, suicide or attempted suicide, (b) whilst under
the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs (c) whilst engaging in Aviation
or ballooning or whilst mounting into, dismounting from or traveling in any
aircraft other than as a passenger (fare paying or otherwise) in any duly
licensed standard type of aircraft anywhere in the world, (d) directly or indirectly
caused by venereal disease/s, or insanity, (e) arising or resulting from the
insured committing any breach of law with criminal intent.
Today, read a report in National Herald web edition
that Oriental insurance had repudiated a claim of Tripura lynching victim
stating that the deceased was killed by
the public because at that time he was involved in a crime.
In a detailed report, the
paper reports that the wife of the deceased received a letter from the
Muzaffarnagar branch of the Oriental Insurance Company. The letter she has
received from the insurance company mentions that the deceased was killed by
the public because at that time the deceased was involved in the crime of
attempting to kidnap. Therefore, under Mukhyamantri Kisan Sarvhit Bima Yojana,
the person is understood to be involved in a criminal conspiracy at the time of
murder. So the claim is not determined, the correspondence hence is closed.”
The deceased Zahid had 2
bighas of land, and under Uttar Pradesh Sarvajit Kisan Bima Yojana, after the
death of the farmer due to accident or murder, his family gets compensation of
₹5 lakh. Zahid has three children. His family had applied for compensation
under Uttar Pradesh Sarvahit Kisan Bima Yojanaand has received this response.
Newspaper report further citing
Tripura police investigator states this to be incorrect. It adds that the victim’s family has not
received any government aid. His family applied for compensation under this
insurance scheme. It was examined by the local tehsil. After 4 months, the
Insurance Company has closed the claim with a letter of repudiation. The family
too stated that it is totally wrong and that he never had any criminal case
against him, the killing was claimed to be a fall-out of child-lifting in the
area.
