In the 33rd episode of the Mukhyamantri Samipeshu program, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha personally addressed the grievances of citizens from various parts of Tripura. Held at his official residence on Thursday in Agartala, the initiative allowed residents to voice concerns ranging from medical emergencies to social welfare issues.

The Chief Minister provided immediate directives to relevant officials to ensure timely assistance for medical treatment, education, and employment, among other concerns.

One notable case was that  of Bhaskarjyoti Bhowmik, a resident of Joynagar, Agartala, who is suffering from a rare genetic disease.
