If a recent report is to be believed, the Tripura government will now be repairing a road close to the residence of Olympian Dipa Karmakar.

It is believed that Dipa’s family and coach had collectively decided to return the vehicle as there was neither any authorized service centre in the region or even in the state for that matter, nor were there proper roads to drive the vehicle.

Dipa’s father Dulal Karmakar had earlier expressed his views saying that they wanted to replace the car and not return as it is difficult to drive and maintain such a vehicle in Agartala.  He also said that the roads in Tripura are not good enough to drive such a vehicle and there are no capable drivers in Agartala town to drive a BMW.
