TIPRA to contest Agartala civic polls

After a comfortable victory inTripuraTribal Areas Autonomous District Council (ADC) , the Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA), floated recently by Tripura royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarman, has announced that it would contest the upcoming election to theAgartalaMunicipal Corporation expected to be held in a couple of months.

To achieve Greater Tipraland, we have to fight in the election to Agartala Municipal Corporation. The sufferings of indigenous people of the city would not be addressed properly unless TIPRA makes its representation at the policy-making level of all the elected bodies. We are not fighting against any community but for our rights.
