Agartala, Aug 17 (FD) The Tripura unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will launch a statewide booth verification exercise from August 18 ahead of the upcoming village council elections, with the party directing its organisational units to identify weak and inactive booths and strengthen their grassroots teams.

In a notification issued by the Tripura BJP State Executive Committee, State BJP president Abhishek Debroy directed all district presidents to initiate the verification process across the state.

As part of the exercise, inactive and weak booths will be identified, while new workers will be assigned responsibilities wherever necessary. The party has also instructed that workers entrusted with booth-level responsibilities should not simultaneously hold other organisational or administrative duties, enabling them to focus exclusively on booth verification and related activities.

A five-member State Booth Verification Team has been constituted to oversee the exercise. State BJP vice-president Tapas Bhattacharya has been appointed convenor, while state secretary Nabadal Banik, state secretary Bhumika Nanda Reang, BJP chairman Abhijit Deb and former district president Debabrata Bhattacharjee have been appointed co-convenors.

The State Booth Verification Team will coordinate the exercise across all districts. Each district will constitute a three-member committee comprising one convenor and two co-convenors.

At the mandal level, a district-level in-charge will be appointed to constitute a three-member mandal verification team for carrying out the exercise.

The BJP has set August 24 as the deadline for completing the statewide booth verification process.

The exercise is aimed at strengthening the party’s grassroots organisational network and enhancing its booth-level preparedness ahead of the village council elections. FD JK
