Tripura CM calls for stronger coordination between state and ADC

Agartala, Nov 10 (UNI) Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Tuesday reiterated that the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution plays a crucial role in protecting tribal communities’ land, language, culture, traditions, customary practices and socio-economic interests.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of seven Executive Members of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (ADC), who were elected six months ago, Saha said effective implementation of the constitutional provisions is essential to safeguarding the rights and interests of indigenous communities.
He highlighted the ADC’s importance in this effort, noting that the council has a significant role in turning these protections into reality. “We want the rights granted to tribal communities under the Constitution to be properly protected and implemented,” CM said, stressing the need for the ADC to function effectively.
Emphasising the importance of institutional coordination, Saha said he was confident that the State Government and ADC administration could accelerate the overall development of tribal society through mutual cooperation and coordination.
He added that constructive cooperation between the State Government and the autonomous district council would strengthen the socio-economic development of tribal communities and reinforce their shared commitment to building a developed Tripura.
The Chief Minister’s remarks come as the ADC’s new Executive Council takes shape, amid expectations around the implementation of Sixth Schedule provisions. His call for cooperation highlights the importance of a coordinated administrative approach to addressing development priorities in tribal areas. UNI BB NST
