AGARTALA:
A four-member delegation from the opposition Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), on August 25, met Tripura Director General of Police (DGP), Amitabh Ranjan, to apprise him about the law-and-order situation in the state under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
The four-member delegation comprised of CPI-M west district committee secretary Ratan Das, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) president Manik Dey, All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) state secretary Pabitra Kar, and former Chief Executive Member (CEM) of Tripura District Council, Radha Charan Debbarma.
“We met the DGP and apprised him about the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. People are not allowed to cast votes, there is no democratic right, houses are being looted, police acting as silent spectators, and all these after the BJP formed the government in 2018,” Dey said, adding that the police have not taken action against the law breakers as they are backed by the ruling BJP government.
Informing that the DGP has assured he will look into the matter and that they must have faith in the police, Dey informed that CPI-M office has also been shut down after the BJP came to power.
