Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday inaugurated the Supra Multispeciality Hospital at Motorstand in Agartala and reiterated the importance of collaboration between government and private healthcare providers to expand medical services in the state, the Chief Minister's Office said.
New facility to increase specialised care access
The new multispeciality facility is expected to improve access to specialist treatment for residents of Agartala and neighbouring areas, officials reported. The inauguration ceremony included a blood donation camp organised as part of the opening event; the Chief Minister lauded the organisers and donors for their contribution to public health and humanitarian effort.
The state government information release noted that while strengthening government-run health institutions remains a priority, private hospitals also play a significant role in enlarging the health infrastructure and service delivery across Tripura.
Concurrent administrative reviews
Earlier on Sunday, Mr Saha chaired a high-level meeting to examine issues in the state's power sector. Senior state officials and representatives of the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) attended the review. State Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath and Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy were also present, according to the official account.
The meeting reviewed the progress of various development works being implemented under the Agartala Smart City project and discussed repair and maintenance matters for national highways and other roads managed by the Public Works Department (PWD) across Tripura.
Sporting engagement and civic outreach
As part of his engagements, Mr Saha inaugurated the 54th Senior State Badminton Championship 2026 at the NSRCC Badminton Indoor Hall in Agartala and addressed the gathering.
