It is to be noted that the accord is poised to address crucial matters on tribal land and language rights, thereby marking a drastic step towards ensuring their political and financial autonomy.

Meanwhile, Pradyot Manikya Debbarma, the scion of Tripura’s royal family, had rushed to Delhi after receiving a call from the Central government.

The royal scion was amid an indefinite hunger strike in Hatai Koto, formerly known as Baramura Hills in Tripura.

While he was addressing the crowd, he received a phone call when MLA Animesh Debbarma handed over the phone to him.

Following the phone conversation, Pradyot said that he needed to go to Delhi as the Central government had asked him to come there.

Pradyot also claimed that he would travel to Delhi on an empty stomach while continuing his hunger strike. He declared his intention that he would not consume anything until he receives positive response.
