Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb inaugurated an ‘Oxygen Park’ at Salbagan area at the outskirts of Agartala.
The park has been set up in a dense forest area. It covers an area of 29.6 hectares. The ‘Oxygen Park’ is equipped with various facilities – souvenir shop, children play zone and an open gym centre.
Visitors can also practice asanas in the dedicated yoga area. Besides, Wildflowers and medicinal plants have been sown in the park.
“Forests cover a large portion of the total land area. The Corona situation has taught people to feel the importance of oxygen even more. The Center-state jointly has set up a plant to provide adequate oxygen to every district in the state. The Smriti Van program is being successfully implemented in the state. This project is playing a special role in large-scale afforestation,” Tripura CM Biplab Deb said.
The Chief Minister was accompanied by the state’s Forest Minister Narendra Chandra Debbarma, the MLA of the concerned area Krishnadhan Das, PCCF and HoFF Dr. D K Sharma at the inauguration ceremony.
