Several people were reportedly wounded and vehicles vandalised in a clash between supporters of the Tipraha Indigenous Peoples Regional Alliance (TIPRA) and the Tripura Peoples’ Front (TPF) at Khumulwng, near here, on Thursday. TIPRA Chairman, State’s royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarma expressed his anguish and dismay over the incident involving groups from within the indigenous community.
Security platoons have been deployed in strength in Khumulwng, headquarters of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). TIPRA is presently the ruling administration of the TTAADC after its stunning victory in its elections held in April last.
The TPF, led by firebrand leader Patal Kanya Jamatia, was holding a convention on human rights at a pandal in Khumulwng when the clash occurred. Both the TIPRA and the TPF accused each other of instigating violence.
