1. About Habely and what we cover

Habely was created to give the people of Tripura a fast, readable and trustworthy place to follow the news. Tripura is a small state with a big story: it shares most of its border with Bangladesh, it is home to both a large Bengali-speaking population and 19 indigenous tribal communities, and it is one of the fastest-changing states in North-East India. National media often cover Tripura only during elections or emergencies. Habely aims to cover it every day.

Our coverage is organised into the following sections:

Breaking news – urgent and developing stories from Tripura, India and the world, published as soon as they are confirmed.
Agartala and Tripura news – city and district updates, civic issues, local government decisions, traffic, power and water, health and public events.
Politics – the state government, the Tripura Legislative Assembly, the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council, municipal bodies, panchayats and political parties.
Crime and accidents – verified reports from police and official sources, written without sensationalism.
Education and jobs – board exam results, university notices, entrance tests, recruitment advertisements and career guidance.
Sports – Tripura cricket, football, athletics and other local and national tournaments.
Business and economy – markets, agriculture, rubber, tea, bamboo, pineapple, trade with Bangladesh and state budgets.
Weather and alerts – monsoon, flood and storm updates for Tripura and neighbouring regions.
India news – national politics, Parliament, courts, economy, railways, technology, health and North-East India.
World news – international affairs, the global economy, science, climate and events that affect India and the region.
Culture and entertainment – Bengali, Kokborok and tribal culture, festivals, films, music and literature.

2. Our editorial standards

A news site is only useful if readers can trust it. Habely follows these principles:

Accuracy first. We prefer to publish a few minutes later than to publish something wrong. Facts are checked against official statements, police or government sources, or direct reporting.
Clear sourcing. When we rely on an official statement, a press release or another outlet, we say so.
Corrections. If we make a mistake, we correct it openly and update the article.
No rumours. Unverified social media claims are not reported as fact, especially during communal, political or law-and-order situations.
Respect and fairness. We do not target any community, religion, language group or individual. Reports on crime and accidents avoid unnecessary graphic detail.
Separation of news and opinion. Opinion and analysis are clearly labelled.
Privacy and safety. We take particular care with stories involving minors, survivors of crime and private individuals.

3. Tripura at a glance

Tripura is a state in North-East India. It is bordered by Bangladesh on the north, south and west, and by the Indian states of Assam and Mizoram on the east. Its capital and largest city is Agartala. Tripura became a full-fledged Indian state on 21 January 1972, having earlier been a princely state ruled for centuries by the Manikya dynasty and later a Union Territory.

Item	Details
Capital	Agartala
Statehood	21 January 1972
Major languages	Bengali (Bangla), Kokborok; English is used officially
Districts	8 (West Tripura, Sepahijala, Khowai, Gomati, South Tripura, Dhalai, Unakoti, North Tripura)
Legislative Assembly	60 seats
Lok Sabha seats	2
International border	Bangladesh (north, south and west)
Population (2011 Census)	About 3.67 million

Tripura's landscape is made up of low hill ranges running north to south, with narrow valleys and plains in between. Rivers such as the Gomati, Haora, Khowai, Manu and Muhuri drain the state, and a large part of the land is covered by forest and rubber, bamboo and tea plantations. The climate is tropical, with a hot, humid summer, heavy monsoon rains from June to September and a mild winter.

4. The eight districts of Tripura

Tripura is divided into eight districts. Here is a short guide to each one, with the district headquarters.

West Tripura (headquarters: Agartala)

West Tripura is the most populated and most urbanised district and contains the state capital. Government offices, the High Court, major hospitals, colleges, the airport and the main markets are all here. Many "Agartala news" and "Tripura news today" stories originate in this district.

Sepahijala (headquarters: Bishalgarh)

Sepahijala lies to the south-west of Agartala. It is known for the Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary, the Rudrasagar Lake with the water palace of Neermahal at Melaghar, and the Buddhist site of Boxanagar. Agriculture, fisheries and small trade are important to the local economy.

Khowai (headquarters: Khowai)

Khowai district is named after the Khowai river and lies to the north-east of Agartala. It is a mix of plains, tea gardens and hills, and a key stop on the road and rail route towards North Tripura and Assam.

Gomati (headquarters: Udaipur)

Gomati district takes its name from the Gomati river. Udaipur, the headquarters, is a historic town of the Manikya kings and is famous for the Tripura Sundari Temple at Matabari, one of the best-known Hindu shrines in North-East India. The district also has lakes, forests and archaeological sites.

South Tripura (headquarters: Belonia)

South Tripura covers the southern part of the state and has a long border with Bangladesh. Belonia is an important trading town, and the district contains the ancient site of Pilak with its Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Rubber and agriculture are major activities.

Dhalai (headquarters: Ambassa)

Dhalai is a hilly, forested district with a large tribal population. It includes the Dumboor Lake area, the Longtharai Valley and the Jampui Hills region on its fringes, and it offers some of the state's most scenic landscapes and trekking routes.

Unakoti (headquarters: Kailashahar)

Unakoti is named after the famous rock-cut sculptures at Unakoti, believed to be many centuries old. Kailashahar, the headquarters, is one of the oldest towns in the state. Tea and agriculture are important here.

North Tripura (headquarters: Dharmanagar)

North Tripura includes Dharmanagar, a major commercial and rail centre near the Assam border, and the Jampui Hills, famous for orange orchards and cool weather. It is also an important gateway for trade and travel with Assam and Bangladesh.

5. Agartala city guide

Agartala, on the banks of the Haora river and close to the Bangladesh border, is the political, administrative and cultural centre of Tripura. The city grew as the capital of the Tripura princely state in the 19th century and still carries the imprint of the Manikya rulers, including the Ujjayanta Palace, a grand palace built in the early 20th century that now houses a state museum.

Why Agartala news matters

Most government decisions, court hearings, political rallies, university and board exam announcements, medical services and large cultural events happen in Agartala, so a large share of Agartala news and Tripura news today comes from the capital. Our reporters follow city civic issues, such as roads, drainage, drinking water, power supply, traffic, the municipal corporation and public transport.

Important institutions in and around Agartala

Tripura High Court and the State Secretariat
Tripura University (a central university) and NIT Agartala
Agartala Government Medical College and G.B. Pant Hospital
Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport, the state's main airport
Agartala Railway Station and the Agartala–Akhaura cross-border rail link project with Bangladesh
The Tripura Legislative Assembly

Places to see in Agartala

Besides the Ujjayanta Palace, visitors can see the Heritage Park, the Tripura State Museum, the Kunjaban Palace area, the Jagannath Temple, the Laxmi Narayan Temple, the Gedu Mia mosque area and the busy markets of Battala, Maharajganj Bazar and Hawkers' Corner. The city's mix of temples, mosques, churches and Buddhist sites reflects Tripura's cultural diversity.

6. Language, culture and festivals

Tripura is culturally rich. The majority of people speak Bengali, and Bengali literature, theatre, music and film are a big part of everyday life. At the same time, Kokborok, the language of the Tripuri people, is widely spoken and is an official language of the state. Several other tribal languages are also spoken, including those of the Reang (Bru), Jamatia, Chakma, Halam, Mog and Garo communities.

Major festivals

Durga Puja – the biggest festival for the Bengali community, with pandals across Agartala and all towns.
Kharchi Puja – a week-long festival held in Old Agartala, dedicated to the fourteen gods of the Tripuri tradition.
Garia Puja – celebrated mainly by tribal communities in April, with Garia dance and music.
Ker Puja – a traditional tribal festival for protecting the community and the land.
Boisu / Hangrai / Bizu – new-year and harvest festivals of different tribal groups.
Diwali, Holi, Eid, Christmas, Buddha Purnima – celebrated by communities across the state.

Arts and crafts

Tripura is known for its bamboo and cane crafts, handloom textiles such as Risa and Pachra, and traditional music and dance including Hozagiri, Garia, Mamita and Lebang Boomani. Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti and folk traditions of Bengal are also strong.

7. Economy, agriculture and industry

Tripura's economy depends heavily on agriculture, forestry and small trade, with growing services and government employment.

Agriculture: rice is the main food crop, along with vegetables, jackfruit, banana and the well-known Queen pineapple of Tripura.
Rubber: Tripura is among India's leading natural rubber-producing states, and rubber plantations provide income to many families.
Tea: tea gardens, mainly in Khowai, Unakoti, North Tripura and Sepahijala, are a long-standing industry.
Bamboo and agarwood: Tripura has huge bamboo resources and is also known for agarwood (agar), used in perfumery.
Natural gas and power: the state has natural gas reserves, and gas-based power generation supports local supply.
Trade with Bangladesh: land border trade and the cross-border links through Akhaura and Sabroom matter for the region's economy and for logistics.
Handloom and handicrafts: small artisan units and cooperative societies employ many rural families.

Habely's business and economy coverage follows the state budget, central government schemes, agricultural prices, small business news and infrastructure projects, because these directly affect the lives of readers in Tripura.

8. Education, exams and jobs

Education and employment are among the most searched topics by Tripura readers. Some of the main bodies readers follow are:

Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) – conducts the Madhyamik (Class 10) and Higher Secondary (Class 12) examinations and publishes results.
Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) – recruits for senior state government posts.
Teachers' Recruitment Board, Tripura (TRB-T) – handles teacher recruitment and eligibility tests.
Tripura University, NIT Agartala, Agartala Government Medical College, ICFAI, Women's College and other colleges and institutes.
National exams such as JEE, NEET, CUET, UPSC and SSC, which Tripura students also take, and for which we publish key dates and guidance.

A tip for readers: always confirm exam dates, admit cards and results on the official website of the concerned board or department. Our job and result news summarises the notice and links to the official source, so you can check the original.

9. Politics and governance

Tripura is governed under the Indian Constitution through a parliamentary system. The state has a Governor as the constitutional head and a Chief Minister who leads the elected government, which is responsible to the 60-member Tripura Legislative Assembly. The state sends two members to the Lok Sabha and one to the Rajya Sabha.

A distinctive feature of Tripura's governance is the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), an elected body that administers a large part of the state's territory with a majority tribal population under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. Alongside it, there are municipal corporations, municipal councils, nagar panchayats and village panchayats at the local level.

Habely reports on government decisions, cabinet meetings, assembly sessions, council elections, by-elections and the work of political parties, with the aim of explaining what each decision means for ordinary people. For the current office-holders and election results, please check our latest news pages and the official state government website, since these change over time.

10. Transport and connectivity

Air: Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport at Agartala connects the state to Kolkata, Guwahati, Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities, and is the main air gateway to Tripura.
Rail: Agartala and several towns on the Northeast Frontier Railway are linked with Guwahati and onward to the rest of India. The Agartala–Akhaura project aims to connect Tripura with Bangladesh's rail network.
Road: National Highway 8 (earlier NH-44) is the lifeline road to Assam and the rest of India, passing through hilly terrain, and road conditions and landslides on this route are a frequent news topic.
Border crossings: the Agartala–Akhaura integrated check post and others are important for trade and for travellers going to Bangladesh.
Local transport: city buses, auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws and shared vehicles are the usual options within Agartala and between towns.

11. Tourism and places to visit
