TRIPURA
Tripura was a princely State. Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya was the last King.
After the death of Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya in May 1947, a council of
regency under the leadership of his widowed wife Maharani Kanchanpura Devi
took over charge of administration on behalf of the minor prince Kirit
Bikram Kishore Manikya.
Monarchy came to its end on 9th September 1947. Tripura was taken as a
Part-C state administered by Chief Commissioner. Tripura became a Union
Territory on 1st November 1956. The Territorial Council was formed on August
15, 1959. The dissolution of Territorial Council and formation of
Legislative Assembly and a Council of Ministers in July 1963 were notable
events. Finally Tripura became a full-fledged State in January 1972. The
district administration was run by one District Magistrate and Collector
upto 31.8.1970. For better attention of problems of land and tenancies, for
accelerating the pace of development in this backward area especially in the
remote Tribal areas and for bringing the people closer to the administration
Tripura was divided into three districts, viz., North Tripura District, West
Tripura District and South Tripura District. Three district Magistrates and
Collectors were appointed for the three districts from 1-9-1970. While it
was one District Union Territory there were 10 sub-divisions. When it became
a full-fledged State, the 10 sub-divisions remained the same. The West
Tripura district comprises three sub-divisions viz., Khowai, Sadar and
Sonamura while North Tripura District is comprises Kailashhar, Dharmanagar
and kamalpur and South Tripura District comprises remaining Udaipur, Amarpur,
Belonia and Sabroom sub-divisions. Out of the six principal hill ranges
