Tripura People's Front (TPF) bandh hits life in tribal areas

AGARTALA: Normal life in Tripura's tribal areas of Autonomous District Council (ADC) areas and other mixed populated localities of the State were affected due to the general strike called by tribal-based Tripura People's Front (TPF) on Wednesday.

The strike was called seeking justice for Biswajit Debbarma, a fireman who was killed in a mob attack during anti-Bru settlement agitation in Panisagar of North Tripura last month.

Vehicle movement on highways in North and South Tripura from the capital city and train movement to and from Agartala has been disrupted following the strike.

Most of the government offices and educational institutions in the areas under ADC remained closed.

Additional Home Secretary A.K. Bhattacharya said that the Director General of Police, District Magistrates and Superintendent of Police in all the districts took adequate measures to prevent any eventuality and maintain peace and tranquillity.
