AGARTALA, July 9 (TIWN): Eventhough multiple protests have been conducted in the recent time by CPI-M backed unions and youth / student federations against IPFT strike but from state govt the action has remained just at zero-level. Via Melarmath's party activities, CPI-M although attempted to create an image of party's innocence by blaming BJP, whereas the broken part of IPFT led by N C Debbarma's nexus with Melarmath was alleged already. The main question that is raising is whereas the blockade was announced long back, what have the state govt done to solve the matter ? All Party Meeting ? Meeting of State & Central Home Minister ? , nothing was done by CPI-M Govt that may lead to serious consequences like Manipur blockade.

Neither Tripura Home Minister has talked regarding the serious issue with Centre, nor the Central Govt has reacted to the dangerous outcomes of the incident. As a result tension has gripped the common people as the railway and Assam-Agartala National Highway blocking will cause serious consequence in coming days like Manipur. 

The ruling CPI-M just utter busy with false allegations against BJP and asked them to reveal ‘what BJP actually thinks regarding Twipraland’. Tripura’s Home Minister cum Chief Minister Manik Sarkar is also silent with the issue leading very critical situations in the next 1 month ahead of country’s 71st independence day.

The tribal-based party Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), which has been agitating for the creation of a separate state, would block National Highway-8 and the rail tracks for an indefinite period from July 10.

NH-8 maintains the surface connection between the land-locked state and the rest of India through Assam.

The IPFT for the past few years has been agitating for the creation of a separate state, carved out by upgrading the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) area. The TTAADC was formed in 1987 under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution to protect and safeguard the political, economic and cultural interests of the tribals.

The politically-important council constitutes two-thirds of Tripura's 10,491 sq.km. area and 1,216,465 (mostly tribals) of the state's total 37 lakh population reside in the areas.
