Agartala, Nov 1: Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Debbarma met with State Election Commissioner Saradindu Chowdhury on Thursday at the secretariat, urging voting rights for the recently resettled Bru community across 13 locations in Tripura.
The Bru, or Reang people, displaced from Mizoram over two decades ago, have now found permanent settlement in Tripura following a landmark accord. Debbarma pressed the State Election Commission to ensure these settlements, located within the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), are included in the voter list for the upcoming Village Council elections.
Submitting a memorandum on behalf of the TTAADC, Debbarma emphasized the urgent need for inclusion to secure fair representation for all tribal communities in the region.
“The Tiprasa community cannot be further divided, and I will continue to follow up on this matter personally,” stated Debbarma, who has been instrumental in securing a permanent home for the displaced Brus despite significant opposition.
