Quotes
[edit]- Akhaura is about five or six miles away from Agartala. I had a great desire for a long time to see Agartala, the capital of independent Tripura. At the time I am talking about, there were no motor buses. I traveled from Akhaura to Agartala by horse-drawn carriage and arrived around ten o'clock in the morning.
