Dharmanagar, Tripura, 24th of April 2026 : Allegations of widespread illegal gambling during the traditional Charak fair have prompted the Dharmanagar Press Club to raise strong concerns in North Tripura district. Seeking immediate intervention to curb this growing social menace, the organization has approached the Superintendent of Police (SP). On Friday, April 24, a delegation from the Press Club submitted a memorandum to the district SP, highlighting that unscrupulous groups are allegedly running large-scale gambling operations—both openly and covertly—across various parts of the district during the Charak Puja and fair.

To maintain administrative credibility and prevent youth from going astray, they have demanded strict police surveillance at every fairground.It now remains to be seen how swiftly and firmly the North Tripura district police administration responds to these allegations. The general public is expecting decisive action in the interest of society.
