AGARTALA, March 8 (TIWN) : Along with the whole country, landlocked state Tripura, too is observing International Women’s day to celebrate the gender who are holding half population of the world. Colourful rallies and slogans have been started in Tripura to mark International Women’s Day-2016. But question remains, will Women’s Day celebration make the lives of those women better in Tripura, who are tolerating everyday injustice from this lawless society? On Saturday afternoon, however, with the initiative of Social Welfare & Social Education department a rally was organized where women themselves acted as a part of the rally and voiced against the dowry system, rapes, murders and related other tortures upon women. Although it was a good initiative, taken by the women of the capital city, but in reality, people of the rally might have forgotten all about their messages and significance of international womens day.Tripura ranked 4th in ‘Crime Against Women’, according to the recent report given by NBRC.Rating the state with 88 % crimes, the NBRC report further said that, among the north eastern states Tripura stands second, whereas Assam tops the list in the NE states with 19139 registered cases.

In the running year-2016 also, within 2 months Tripura has given birth to various crime incidents against women, which only depicts about the real stories behind the ‘show-off’ rallies.

The rape incident of Chachubazar is still not forgotten, along with the minor girl rape at Sabroom, the tortures upon women along with Dharmanagar Forest dept. offcial’s wife : those all are examples of how crimes are frequent in the small state Tripura.

However, at the end it’s to be mentioned here to survive in the state which is actually ‘law-less’, women have to be more self dependent, rather than sacrificing themselves with plenty of dowries. Parents roles come first here.
