Flora
The Flora of Tripura includes countless native and fascinating assortment of species. Like much of the Indian subcontinent, Tripura exists in the Indomalayan realm. The states have Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) and Mesua ferrea, the Ceylon ironwood, or cobra saffron as its State Tree and Flower respectively.

Bog locally called 'Lunga' possesses an enormous region everywhere in the State. It involves herbaceous species, some woody bushes, and a couple of dissipated trees like, Barringtonia acutangula (L) Gaertn. lagerstroemia pariviflora Roxb., are the basic trees. Phragmities karka (Retz) Trin., Alpinia aalughas Rosc., Vahl., F. glomerata kunth, and so forth are the regular spices. In muddy or low-lying places with shallow water tables, once in a while, Alpinia allughas Rose., A. bracteata Roxb are found. They structure social orders and fill in a relationship in different extents most likely relying upon the state of the dirt and profundity of water. As per the level of the region covered by the individual species, they show up.
Steps for Preservation
The state's famous ecological sites are Sipahijala, Gumti, Rowa, and Trishna natural life sanctuaries. National parks of the state include the Clouded Leopard National Park and Rajbari National Park.

In winter, a great many transitory waterfowl crowds over Gumti, MBB College Lake at Agartala, and Rudrasagar lakes.
The issues and advantages of biodiversity are many. They center around the requirement for an economical turn of events and sufficient utilization of seaside resources. Loss of biodiversity and biodiversity preservation are ideas that give the premise to biodiversity the board

Police Warn Against ‘Ridiculous’ Parking at Beauty Spot Amid Snow Disruption
Heavy snowfall may transform beauty spots into winter wonderlands, but it also brings serious risks when visitors ignore basic safety and parking rules. Police have issued a strong warning against what they describe as “ridiculous” parking at a popular beauty spot, after snow disruption led to blocked roads, stranded vehicles, and delayed emergency access. As wintry conditions continue to affect travel, authorities are urging the public to prioritise safety over scenic photographs, reminding drivers that poor parking decisions can have life-threatening consequences during severe weather. Snowfall Turns Scenic into Hazardous The recent spell of snow attracted large numbers of visitors eager to enjoy picturesque landscapes blanketed in white. Hillsides, national parks, and rural viewpoints quickly became hotspots for walkers, families, and amateur photographers. However, police say the surge in visitors coincided with widespread parking chaos. Cars were left abandoned on narrow roads, grass verges, gateways, and even blocking access routes meant for emergency vehicles and local residents. What may appear to drivers as a harmless decision to “park for just a few minutes” can quickly escalate into a major safety issue—especially when snow and ice reduce road space and visibility. Police Response and Public Warning Local police forces have taken to social media and public statements to express frustration at the situation. Officers described some parking behaviour as not only irresponsible but dangerous, particularly given the weather conditions. Police warned that emergency vehicles, including ambulances and mountain rescue teams, were struggling to reach areas due to blocked roads. In severe weather, response times are already under pressure, and illegally parked vehicles can mean the difference between life and death. Authorities have also made it clear that enforcement action will be taken where necessary. Drivers risk fines, towing, and penalty points if their vehicles obstruct roads or endanger others. Impact on Emergency Services One of the most serious consequences of poor parking during snow disruption is its impact on emergency services. Narrow rural roads, already difficult to navigate in icy conditions, become completely impassable when cars are parked irresponsibly. Fire crews, paramedics, and rescue teams rely on clear access routes, particularly in popular beauty spots where accidents such as slips, falls, or stranded walkers are more likely in winter conditions. Police stressed that emergency vehicles do not have the luxury of “finding another way around” when roads are blocked. Delays caused by inconsiderate parking put both responders and the public at risk. Local Residents Left Frustrated It is not only emergency services that are affected. Residents living near popular beauty spots often bear the brunt of snow-related disruption. Driveways are blocked, access to homes becomes difficult, and essential journeys for work, medical appointments, or supplies are delayed. Many locals report feeling ignored by visitors who treat rural communities like seasonal attractions rather than lived-in areas. During winter weather, this frustration is magnified, as residents may already be dealing with power outages, poor road conditions, and limited access to services. Police have echoed these concerns, reminding visitors that beauty spots are often surrounded by working communities, not just open spaces for leisure. Why Snow Makes Parking More Dangerous Snow significantly reduces road safety margins. It narrows carriageways, hides road markings, and makes verges unstable. A car parked partly on a road might seem manageable in normal conditions, but in snow it can create blind corners, force vehicles into oncoming traffic, or cause skidding accidents. Additionally, snowploughs and gritters require space to operate effectively. Poorly parked vehicles can prevent these essential services from clearing roads, prolonging disruption for everyone. Authorities warn that even experienced drivers can underestimate how quickly conditions can change in winter weather. Social Media and the “Snow Day” Effect Police have also pointed to social media as a contributing factor. Viral images of snow-covered landscapes often encourage spontaneous trips without proper planning. People see beautiful photos and head out without considering parking availability, road conditions, or weather warnings. This “snow day” mentality can overwhelm rural infrastructure not designed for large volumes of traffic, particularly during adverse weather. Police urge visitors to check local advice before travelling and to be prepared to turn back if conditions are unsafe. Advice for Safe Winter Visits In response to the ongoing disruption, authorities have shared clear guidance for anyone planning to visit beauty spots during snowy conditions: Avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather warnings Park only in designated areas, never on roads or verges Do not block gateways, tracks, or emergency access routes Check weather and road conditions before setting off Be prepared to leave if parking is unavailable Police emphasise that no photograph or short walk is worth risking lives or causing serious disruption. Enforcement and Accountability While officers prefer to rely on public cooperation, they have confirmed that enforcement will be stepped up if irresponsible behaviour continues. Vehicles may be ticketed or removed, particularly if they pose a danger or obstruction. Authorities stress that enforcement is not about spoiling enjoyment but about ensuring public safety. Winter conditions demand higher levels of responsibility from drivers, not less. A Shared Responsibility Snow transforms landscapes, but it also tests public behaviour. Police warnings against “ridiculous” parking are not just expressions of frustration—they are urgent reminders that safety must come first. Enjoying nature is a privilege, not a right, especially during extreme weather. By parking responsibly and respecting local communities, visitors can help ensure that beauty spots remain accessible, emergency services remain effective, and winter days do not turn into preventable disasters. As snow disruption continues, the message from police is clear: think before you park, or don’t park at all

How Wind Energy Works: A Closer Look with Stanislav Kondrashov
As the world pushes further into the 21st century, the demand for sustainable and clean sources of energy has never been greater. At the heart of this shift is wind energy—a technology as old as the first sailboat, yet as modern as the towering turbines dotting coastlines and countrysides. Stanislav Kondrashov, an independent energy researcher and commentator, has long studied the mechanics and potential of wind power. His insights help demystify what’s often seen as a complex system driven by forces we can’t see.
