Community Club Demolished in West Tripura for Unauthorised ConstructionCommunity Club Demolished in West Tripura for Unauthorised Construction A community club in Ushabazar, West Tripura, was demolished on Wednesday by the district administration for being constructed on government land. The demolition came following the death of the club’s secretary, Durga Prasanna Deb (Vikki), who was shot dead on April 30 in a dispute over government contracts. Investigations into the murder revealed the involvement of some club members and the discovery that the club was built on unauthorized land. District Magistrate Vishal Kumar explained that a notice was issued to the club regarding the illegal construction, but unsatisfactory responses led to the demolition before the July 15 deadline. The government intends to establish a public health center at the site. Kumar emphasized the administration’s zero-tolerance policy towards land mafias and similar illegal activities. The main suspect in the murder case, Raju Barman, a former secretary of the club, was recently apprehended in Guwahati.
