In a development that may be considered exemplary in many ways the people of Usha Bazar area including the members of controversial Bharat Ratan Sangha have repaid a bank loan of Rs 10 lakhs drawn by the slain secretary of the club Durga Prasanna Deb alias Vicky. It was on this day last year that Durga Prasanna Deb alias Vicky, the then secretary of Bharat Ratna Sangha , had been shot dead by a few gangsters near the BSF headquarter at Shalbagan, north of Agartala. The killing had triggered a furore and subsequently the police had been able to arrest the culprits involved in the murder of Vicky from different parts of the country including West Bengal and Assam.

But Vicky’s family had fallen on a serious crisis-ridden days in terms of financial matters as before his death Vicky had drawn a loan of Rs 10 lakh from a nationalized bank by mortgaging his residence . The family was unable to repay the installments of the loan. With Vicky’s death anniversary nearing the people of Usha Bazar as well as members of the Bharat Ratna Sangha had decided to mobilize the entire outstanding loan amount and repay it to save Vicky’s family. Accordingly all the members of the Bharat Ratna Sangha and the people of Usha Bazar area donated amounts to a common fund and the outstanding loan amount with interest was paid up to the bank . The clearance certificate issued by the nationalized bank was then handed over to the wife and family members of Durga Prasanna Deb alias Vicky. The family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the members of Bharat Ratna Sangha and people of the area.
