Legislative Assembly constituency in Tripura State, India
It is part of South Tripura district[1] and is centered around the town of Belonia. As of 2023, Dipankar Sen is the current representative of this constituency. His term is expected to last until 2028.
History
The constituency of Belonia was created, in 1967, for the newly created 30-seat Legislative Assembly of the union territory of Tripura, by the Government Of Union Territories Act, 1963.[4] Later, in 1971, Tripura was converted from a union territory to a state, by the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, which increased the number of constituencies in Tripura to 60,[5] hence requiring major boundary changes to the constituencies.
By the last delimitation, carried out in 2005, the constituency consists of all of Belonia and Maichhara tehsils and parts of Barpathari, Baikhora and Rajapur tehsils.[6]
