Ex-NLFT militants of Tripura arrested after NH blockade

Agartala, Oct 17 (UNI) A group of former NLFT militants who sought to block National Highway No. 08 at Sadhupara, in the foothills of the Barmura ranges in West Tripura district to fast track the implementation of 'Tiprasa Accord,' were arrested on Saturday. They were later released.
According to police officials, a substantial number of former NLFT militants had congregated in Chandra Sadhupara locality at the eastern terminus of Champak Nagar pursuant to a previously announced plan to obstruct the national highway.
Given the heavy traffic volume on the national highway during the 'Durga Puja' observance, a considerable contingent of police personnel and TSR officers, commanded by Jirania police station's officer in charge Subimal Debnath, arrived at the location to engage in dialogue with the former militants, urging them to end the blockade and permit unobstructed vehicular movement.
