Deb said he has urged all gram pradhans to start a campaign for garbage and plastic-free Tripura.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday is September 17. BJP units in different parts of the country have decided to organise a week-long 'Seva Saptah' or Service Week from September 14 to mark his birthday.
