One Person Killed, 20 Injured In Police Firing On Protesters
One person killed, 20 injured in police firing on protesters in Tripura.
One person was killed and 20 others were injured in police firing on the people who were protesting and closing the Assam-Agartala National Highway at Panisagar in North Tripura district.
These people were opposing the migration of Bru migrants from the neighboring state of Mizoram to Tripura.
Police said that a large number of people gathered on Panisagar National Highway-8 and closed it. They demanded the government to withdraw the plan to settle Bru migrants in Tripura.
The Joint Movement Committee (JMC) of Bengali and the local Mizo community has announced a five-day strike from Monday on this issue, under which they closed Highway-8 on Saturday.
The Central Government signed a new agreement in January this year under which people of the Bru community residing in relief camps in Tripura will not be forced to return.
On Saturday, the situation worsened when a large squad of paramilitary forces, including the police and the Tripura State Rifles (TSR), clashed with protesters over the evacuation of the road.
Police first lathi-charged the protesters and later opened fire, killing 40-year-old Srikant Das, who was involved in the protest.
Additional Director General of Police Rajiv Singh said that the police had to shoot for their defense as the mob had become uncontrollable and were trying to snatch weapons from the security forces.
He admitted that one person died and some people were injured during this period.
