AGARTALA / BARAMURA, July 16 (TIWN): Seems, opposition BJP's warning of withdrawal strike has worked over Manik Sarkar's brain well as administrative chiefs have sat in meeting with IPFT at Civil Secretariat. BJP State Observer Sunil Deodhar has warned if blockade is not withdrawn then it will block CM's movement. A team of IPFT led by President N C Debbarman, Ananta Debbarma and also Youth IPFT leaders have started meeting with Chief Secretary, DMs, SP and Police High Officials. Reportedly, Chief Secretary Sanjeev Ranjan has urged N C Debbarma and his team to withdraw the strike over national highway. West DM Millind Ramteke, SP West Abhijit Saptarshi were also present in the meeting. This meeting was also followed by 3 of the IPFT youths turned ill with the unhealthy environment created due to the blockade at Baramura.In demand of a separate Tipraland, Tripura tribal party IPFT has continued a strike over National Highway and Railway from July 10 at Baramura.

The road blockade was begun with the demand of a separate land Tipraland since Monday morning and denied to withdraw the strike unless state is separated. On Tuesday as a part of agitation IPFT had burnt tires, raised slogan of ‘No Tipraland, No Rest’ and on Wednesday IPFT also held a naked rally & this is the 6th day of their blockade.

Addressing a press conference, Tripura BJP Observer Sunil Deodhar said in the evening, "If IPFT's blockade is not withdrawn within next 48 hours, then BJP will block Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's movements". "We are extremely unhappy, angry with the blockade created a collapsing condition of transport, health, education in Tripura. Even today when Indigenous people were celebrating Ker Puja, the IPFT didn't allow its own people to enjoy the ceremony. What kind of Indigenous people's leader they are?".

 Blasting the Chief Minister, Deodhar said, "7 days have been gone but the Chief Minister has no concerns at all, rather making the issue as a joke Bijan Dhar sat with his allegation of BJP/ IPFT nexus. BJP does not keep relation with the dividers who want separate state". "Thus we are giving 48 hours to IPFT and the ruling party to stop the blockade in the name of democratic right. Or we are going to block Chief Minister's movement to let him understand how it feels when you being in your place you can not move", said Deodhar.

However, this meeting is a green signal of ending the blockade !
