A 24-hour strike called by the Tripura People’s Front (TPF), a tribal based party, on Wednesday received thin response. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere in the State, police said.
This has been the TPF’s second strike in the past one month to press its demand for the arrest of perpetrators responsible for lynching of fireman Biswajit Debbarma during an anti-Bru settlement protest in Panisagar of north Tripura on November 21. A non-tribal youth was also killed in police firing on the protesters, while at least 23 people, including 15 policemen, were injured.
