The Tipraha Indigenous Peoples Regional Alliance (TIPRA) has called for a 12-hour general strike in areas of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) on September 30 to press for its set of demands importantly constitutional solution to its contentious Greater Tipraland demand.
The TTAADC was constituted with three fourth lands of the State, but has limited power to administer. One third of the State’s population resides in its demarcated jurisdiction.
The founder of the TIPRA which is the ruling party in the TTAADC and the main Opposition party in State assembly Pradyot Kishore Debbarma announced the band here on Saturday. He recently returned to the State after his long absence and has reportedly been trying to pacify dissenting leaders to prevent their exodus from the regional party.
