Section 144 imposed in Agartala


Section 144 was imposed in Agartala after several people were injured in clashes between supporters and activists of Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) and local residents in different parts of the city, the police said.
“A group of people from the procession of IPFT attacked some persons at the heart of the town at Kaman Chowmuhai and ransacked some shops and set fire to some vehicles, apparently without provocation.
“This incident resulted in clashes and at least 17 people including women were injured,” SP (Police Control), Uttam Bhaumick said.
Soon after the incident, DGP, K Nagraj and SP (West), Abhijit Saptarshi rushed to the spot with a large contingent of police and paramilitary forces brought the situation under control, he said.
Bhaumick said in one place the police had to resort to lathi charge to disperse the unruly crowd.
The IPFT, a tribal based party, today took out a procession in the city demanding ‘Twipra land’, a separate state for the tribals by curbing out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) from the state.
