He urged citizens to take collective responsibility in maintaining the site and preventing any anti-social activities.
The Chief Minister also highlighted several other ongoing and upcoming development projects in and around Agartala, including the Ring Road, new flyover, Unity Mall, satellite township, and Haora riverfront development, all of which aim to boost connectivity, tourism, and the quality of life in the city.

The rejuvenated MBB College Lake now features modern landscaping, walking tracks, improved lighting, sitting areas, and enhanced water conservation systems, making it an ideal open space for recreation, exercise, and community gatherings. Officials from the Smart City Mission informed that the project was designed to preserve the lake’s natural beauty while introducing amenities that promote leisure and tourism.
