On her first visit to the State, the President inaugurated the new building of the Tripura Judicial Academy
President of India Droupadi Murmu interacted with a group of tea plantation workers as she commenced her first visit to Tripura on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Manik Saha, Union Minister of State Pratima Bhoumik and other dignitaries received the President at the airport.
An all-woman armed police contingent accorded the guard of honour to the President.
One of her engagements was visiting the State-owned Durgabari tea estate, 14 km north of Agartala. She spoke with a group of women workers from the Munda community. Ms. Murmu interacted with them in their dialect.
“They represent the State’s social diversity and seem satisfied with welfare initiatives for them. I urged them to focus on the education of their children, particularly girls,” Ms. Murmu said on Twitter.
The President also inaugurated the new building of the Tripura Judicial Academy and the National Law University. The inaugurations occurred amid objections from the Opposition parties, especially the CPI(M) over “acquiring” the land of the Tripura Institute of Technology, which offers degree and diploma courses to hundreds of students.
