The pervasive role of middlemen in real estate and construction has become a growing concern in the city and surrounding areas. 

Residents claim that whether it is buying or selling land, constructing flats, or even repairing homes, brokers are invariably involved, demanding payments. Many argue that this trend, which has now spread beyond Agartala to other regions, requires immediate government attention.

Speaking on the issue, opposition leader Jitendra Chaudhury pointed out that these practices were encouraged by ruling party legislators in the past. "We are all part of this society. Tomorrow we may not be MLAs or ministers. Yet, today, ruling party branches have taught certain legislators to make these demands. Now, the opposition is expected to resolve them," he said.

Chowdhury also raised concerns about law and order in the state. According to him, over the past year, agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have conducted multiple operations in Tripura. However, there is no official information from the Home Department regarding the number of arrests made. "The fact that criminal elements continue to enter the state unchecked shows the state of law enforcement. The statistics cited by the Governor do not match the ground reality," he said.

He added that law and order in Tripura appears to be controlled by an invisible force. Criminals roam freely, while victims live in fear, often hesitating to lodge complaints. Even when complaints are filed, victims are sometimes forced to withdraw them later.

In response, Minister Sudhanshu Das defended the government’s position, saying that questions should be based on verified data. Chowdhury countered, urging the minister to provide clear written information on the matters raised.

The debate highlights the growing frustration among citizens over both bureaucratic inefficiency and the unchecked influence of intermediaries in the state.
