blockade by surrendered militants' hits parts of Tripura
Agartala, Sept. 6 -- Train services and vehicular movement were affected in parts of Tripura on Saturday on the second day of a 72-hour blockade called by a forum of surrendered militants over an 11-point charter of demands, including the implementation of a tripartite agreement under which they laid down arms. Hundreds of surrendered militants under the banner of the All Returnees' Rehabilitation Committee blocked roads at Hataikotor, Brigudasbari and Khowai Chowmuhani in West Tripura district, a senior police officer said.
They also sat on the railway tracks at Brigudasbari in West Tripura, prompting the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) to announce short termination, cancellation and rescheduling of several trains, including long-distance trains, according to an official release.
