Six Surrendered Militants Arrested for Blocking Tripura National Highway During Festival
In Tripura, six surrendered militants from NLFT and ATTF were arrested after blocking a national highway in West Tripura during Durga Puja festivities, demanding proper rehabilitation. Authorities, including an executive magistrate, requested the removal of the blockade, which the militants ignored, leading to a scuffle that injured two police officers. The highway was cleared to ensure public safety and uninterrupted movement. The arrested militants were sent to judicial remand, and a case was filed against them for obstructing security personnel.
