Agartala, Aug 3 (PTI) Perched on hills and remote areas
of Tripura, 45 villages and 797 localities were lit up with
solar energy in the last five years, a state minister said
today.

“It was not possible to draw electric lines in those
remote areas, so solar energy was used to light up those
remote and hill top hamlets and localities,” science and
technology minister Joygobinda Debroy said in while releasing
a book ‘Science, Technology and Environment’ here.
