Belonia Sub-Division

BACKGROUND

he new South Tripura District with its Head Quarter at Belonia T was created with the objective of ensuring better delivery of public services to a population of 4,53,079, a major chunk of whom live in rural areas. The new district has 3 Sub-Divisions, 8 RD Blocks,1 AMC, 2 Nagar Pachayats, 90 GPs and 70 ADC Villages. The total geographical area of the District is 1514.322 Sq. Km. Although the district is situated in the southernmost tip of the State, it has the advantage of being connected with the State Capital through National Highway 44. The project for extension of railway line up to Sabroom Town via Belonia would further improve the transportation and communication link with the rest of the State. Efforts are being made to connect the unconnected habitations by all weather roads as early as possible. While Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary under Rajnagar Block and Pilak under Jolaibari have the potential to become major tourist attractions, Belonia and Sabroom Towns have the potential to become major export- import hub. The District Administration along with all the line departments will have to work together and focus on filling up the gaps in infrastructure as well as service delivery system so that the objective with which the new district was created could be fulfilled.

PUBLIC PLACES OF INTERESTS IN SOUTH TRIPURA DISTRICT

SL PUBLIC Place HISTORY Picture No of interest 1. Belonia SUB- DIVISION 1. Trishna Wild Life Trishna Wild Life Sanctuary is located about Sanctuary 100 Km. away from Agartala in Belonia Subdivision of South Tripura District. Bison is the main attraction in this sanctuary, in addition to the resident and migratory birds. Location: 100 k.m. from Agartala. Accommodation: "Daxminayan" forest Dak Bungalow in Belonia

2. Chandrapur Masque(Near The 1992 is marked as a water-shed year Biswa Road) in post-independence Indian history because of the destruction of Babri Maszid at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. As a pleasant coincidence people in Rajnagar area under Belonia subdivision of south Tripura discovered the remnants of a medieval mosque concealed from public view by trees, plants and bushes that every year.

The mosque overlooking plains of Bangladesh and Tripura from a hillock was restored in the fateful year 1992 by an initiative of the state government and a ‘Solidarity Fair’ was held.

The fair on December 6, the day ‘Babri Maszid’ was destroyed, has been a major annual event in the state’s cultural calendar since then. Experts on Tripura’s history attribute the construction of ‘Rajnagar Maszid’ to the commander of the Mughal army which invaded Tripura in the year 1618 during the reign of king Yashodhar Manikya. Standing atop the secluded hillock in towering glory the mosque beckons tourists to enjoy the majesty of its architectural beauty. 22

SL PUBLIC Place HISTORY Picture No of interest 2. Kalapania Every development project adds a new dimension to the socio-economic profile of a place, transforming life-styles, developing infrastructure and altering social ethos as a whole.

Nothing illustrates this better than the sprawling Kalapania Eco Park in Sabroom subdivision of Tripura. A swift ride along the extended Agartala-Sabroom national highway (No-44) takes a tourist to Kalacherra in close to three hours and one more KM ahead a leftward turn off the highway delivers the tourist to the lush green landscape of Kalapania dotted with green-capped hillocks and transparent lakes spread over twenty five hectares of land . The Park, developed over a period of seven years since 2000, embodies an interesting history.

At the height of Bangladesh crisis in 1971 Kalapania had played host to thousands of refguees from that country and a crematorium had come up on the land owned by a magnanimous tribal Tripura. The refugees had duly left and obscure Kalapania returned to languish in days of desolation, obscure even to most of the people in Sabroom subdivision. Location: 116 km away from Agartala.

SL PUBLIC Place HISTORY Picture No of interest SANTIRBAZAR SUB- DIVISION 1. Pilak The site of a civilization which flourished during 8-12 centuries of the Christian era has been a cradle of culture of heterodox creeds and sects representing both Hinduism i.e. Shiva, Surya, Baishnabi and Buddhism i.e. Hinayana, Mahayana, Bajrayana which bear testimony to peaceful co-existence of the two cultures.

The important places are Shyam Sundar Tilla, Deb Bari, Thakurani Tilla, Balir Pathar, Basudev Bari and Sagar Deba. The art form and style followed in the making of the images and in the sculptures appear to have remote resemblance to the sculptural and architectural style of the Palas and Guptas of Bengal. Influence of Arakan, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and local style is discernable in the form and style of Pilak images and sculpture. The number of rock- cut images and terracotta plaques are lying scattered in various places of the area.

The site has been under the care of Archaeological Survey of India. The molded terracotta plaques bear resemblance to moulded plaques recovered from Paharpur and Mainamati. The Buddhist Complex here may be assigned a date between 9th and 10th century A.D. During excavation in the late sixties, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) team found out brick built ‘stupas’. Archaeological Survey of India has plans to do some more excavation to unearth the hidden cultural heritage of the area. It may be presumed that the extensive plains of Tripura were under the control of several dynasties who ruled in Eastern Bengal and Samatata in ancient period. Some of them were Buddhists and the others were Hindus. Most of these rulers had their capitals near this region. The ancient kingdom of Pattikera had its capital in Comilla region and Pilak is not very far from Comilla. Location: From Agartala, 100 km, Udaipur 61 km and Jolaibari 2 km. Nearest Town: Santibazar, 19 km, Jolaibari, 2 km. Accommodation: Pilak Tourist Lodge (Jolaibari), Pilak Pantha Niwas (Bagafa) and Manu Yatriniwas (Manu Bazar).
