Tripura Surrendered Militants Announce 72-Hour Shutdown Over Unmet Rehabilitation Demands
Surrendered members of Tripura's NLFT and ATTF militant groups have announced a 72-hour statewide shutdown starting September 4, citing unfulfilled commitments under a 2024 tripartite agreement for their rehabilitation. Leaders, including Parimal Debbarma, expressed frustration over delays in implementing the agreement and threatened road blockades if demands remain unmet. Previous protests, including a June 2026 blockade, were withdrawn after government assurances. The groups seek enforcement of the agreement, withdrawal of pending cases, and recognition of surrendered cadres.
