Agartala: Anindita Bhowmik, a physiotherapist at the Tripura Medical College and the Dr. BR Ambedkar Memorial Teaching Hospital, was reportedly suspended from service over a Facebook post she had written about an expensive machine that was allegedly purchased without a tendering process.
She feels that after the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Tripura in 2018, there is no freedom of expression. âDuring the Left Front government, FIRs were filed against me several times for criticising the government on social media. But I have never faced such situation before â this time, under the present BJP government, I was suspended for my social media post,â Bhowmik
