Agartala, Feb 26: The Tripura United Indigenous Revolutionary Peoples’ Council (TUIRPC), a group of surrendered extremists on Tuesday staged a blockade on the Assam-Agartala National Highway at Hatai Kotor in West Tripura demanding for 21-point charter.
The group said that despite previous assurances the government failed to fulfil their promises.
Notably, the surrender agreements, involving insurgent groups like the NLFT (NB), ATTF, and TNV, were made under the supervision of agencies such as Tripura Police, TSR, CRPF, BSF, and intelligence agencies.
“The government made numerous promises, but none have been materialised. Many of our demands remain pending, which is why we have resorted to this road blockade as a form of protest. This is the fifth time we are taking such an action,” said TUIRPC leader Daniel Borok Debbarma.
He said, “Our key demands include the withdrawal of all court and police cases against us. Even now, we are being summoned by the police for various cases. We were promised pucca houses, but none have been provided,”.
“We also demand the use of the Roman script for the Kokborok language, replacing the current Bengali script,” he said.
The blockade caused significant disruption, leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded throughout the day.
