Agartala also set up a cinema hall called Rupasi for the entertainment of the towns people. The divine Makhan Lal Saha never compromised on anything when it came to living an honest life. Following his father’s example, he is also trying to work for the welfare of the people of the state. The Chief Minister said that nothing can be a great donation like blood donation. A person can save the lives of 4 patients by donating blood. Presently, people are organizing blood donation camps on various social occasions including birthdays, death days, wedding anniversaries in the state. It is undoubtedly a commendable initiative. The present State Government is working for the overall development of the state under the ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
