Puja festivities in Tripura passed off more or less peacefully, but the
state recorded many road accidents involving two-wheelers, leaving five
dead. Despite heavy rain in several parts of the state, thousands of devotees thronged puja pandals across the state. This year, about 2,364 community pujas were held in Tripura. Around 400 pujas were organized at the community level in and around Agartala.
About 3,000 additional police and Tripura State Rifles (TSR) personnel were deployed in the state during the Pujas.
Police said two accidents were reported West Tripura, while one each was reported from North Tripura, Unokuti and South Tripura districts in the past three days. All the fatalities were caused due to rash and negligent driving, police said.
This apart, there was a clash between members of two rival clubs at Shantirbazar in South Tripura district. No casualty was reported as police acted promptly.
An assistant sub-inspector of police was accused of molesting a Class XI student in an abandoned brick field in Pitra area of South Tripura on the night of October 13. Police detained the accused - identified as Mangal Debbarma - on Monday night.
