In a moment of immense pride for Tripura’s journalism community, renowned editor of Aajker Fariyad, Shanit Debroy, has received an official invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new BJP-led government in West Bengal.
The invitation, reportedly sent on behalf of the Government of West Bengal, has already sparked widespread discussion across political and media circles. The development is being viewed as a landmark recognition of Tripura’s growing presence and influence in the regional media landscape.
What makes this occasion particularly historic is that, for the first time, an editor from Tripura has been invited to witness the oath-taking ceremony of a newly formed government in another Indian state. This rare honour reflects not only the professional stature and credibility of Shanit Debroy but also the increasing importance of northeastern journalism in national discourse.
Media personalities and political observers alike have described the invitation as a significant achievement for Tripura’s press fraternity. Many believe it symbolizes a bridge between regional journalism and mainstream political platforms across India.
By creating this milestone, Shanit Debroy has etched his name into history as the first newspaper editor from Tripura to receive a special invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of a government outside the state — a recognition that marks both personal accomplishment and collective pride for Tripura’s media world.
