Jyotsna Rani Debnath, the mother of Agartala Press Club's senior member and Managing Director of TripuraInfo.com, Jayanta Debnath, passed away at 2 AM on Thursday at the GB Hospital in the capital.

She was 86 years old at the time of her death. She had been admitted to the hospital due to age-related complications. She leaves behind five sons, three daughters, and many relatives and loved ones.
