Blaming the previous Left front government in Tripura, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb felt, “During the two months tenure of the
present government Agartala’s prime referral GBP Hospital has turned good from worst.”

Mr Deb was addressing the three days long Ambedkar Rural Fair at Agartala International ground under the West district of the state at Hapnia on last evening. The chief minister said, “The worst condition of the GBP hospital considered to be the prime referral hospital of this state has so far let large number of patients fly to Chennai and other parts abroad for better treatment, but the scenario has
been changing gradually under the present government.”

“Had the previous chief minister and health minister visit the hospital and thought for quality health care in this state, patients  especially the poor would not have to fly abroad spending handsome amount,” adding the Chief Minister said, “Since after the formation of BJP-IPFT coalition government in Tripura, I myself along with the state health minister Sudip Roy Brman has visited the hospital several times.”

Mr Deb said, “The present government in cooperation with the Centre is working to bring down the patients flying Chennai for treatment purpose and push the unemployed youths of the state fly to Mumbai – a business hub.” “We have direct flight to Chennai but not to Mumbai, henceforth once flight moves to Mumbai like places from Agartala, our unemployed youths who were deprived at large under the previous left front government shall be able to get better job opportunities,” he said.
