The Sadar District Congress staged a silent protest in Tripura’s Kaman Chaumuhani area on Friday, wearing black bands on their mouths, to express their concerns over extortion, violence, and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. Pravir Chakraborty, a spokesperson for the state Congress, highlighted the gravity of the situation, citing rampant extortion, an average of eight murders per month over the past six months, and increased incidents of rape, kidnapping, theft, robbery, and snatching ¹.
Chakraborty criticized the government’s claims of good governance, questioning its effectiveness in maintaining law and order. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s response to the recent floods, noting that affected individuals have yet to receive adequate assistance despite the upcoming Durga Puja festival.
The Congress protest is a call to action, urging citizens to unite and launch a joint movement against the state government and police administration to address these pressing issues ¹. This protest is part of a broader effort to hold the government accountable for its handling of law and order and governance.
