CPI(M) Demands Probe into Tripura Violence, Calls for Peace Initiatives

The CPI(M) has called for an impartial probe into the riots and arson in Tripura's Dhalai district that left 165 families homeless. They demand compensation, security, and peace initiatives from the government. The violence erupted following the death of a college student and led to widespread looting and arson.

The CPI(M) on Friday demanded an impartial probe into the rioting and arson at Gandatwisa in Tripura's Dhalai district, which rendered around 165 families homeless. The party also called for adequate compensation, security, and peace initiatives.

A CPI(M) delegation visited the violence-hit area on Thursday and interacted with the affected people. State secretary Jitendra Chaudhury highlighted that the incidents, including the death of a college student and looting of shops and houses, occurred in the presence of police.

The government must undertake peace initiatives to restore confidence among the tribal and non-tribal people. Chaudhury urged Chief Minister Manik Saha and top officials to visit the area immediately and assess the situation.
