AGARTALA, Sep 4 (TIWN): Agartala’s former CPI-M Auto Union leaders switched sides to become BJP Union leaders now virtually control Battala Auto Stands, carrying excess passengers daily, ignoring State Govt’s order under the nose of Police force. On Monday night 9.45 pm, when News Vanguard TV channel Journalists Koushik Adhikary, Subham Dhar went to Batttala to cover Auto Drivers carrying excess passengers in violation of Govt orders, but a hooligan cum BMS Auto Union leader Tapan Gope alongwith other Auto Union miscreants assaulted Journalists, snatched TV microphones, beaten heavily even though two Police constables were watching lameduck from 50 yards distance. Finally after getting frantic calls, News Vanguard Editor Sevak Bhattacharjee alongwith other media staffs rushed to Battala to save attacked Journalists.
Even though Police HQ in Fire Brigade Chowmuhani is closeby and Chief Minister & other Ministers residence not far but Auto Unions shown scant disregard for Police.
Under Biplab Deb’s Home Ministry and Tripura’s lameduck DGP A.K.Sukla, Law & Order took nosedive as daily attacks, murders, violences turned Tripura into most dangerous State in North East India.
Once again state journalists has been attacked and this time it occurred in an Battala.

Another TV channel journalist of News Vanguard Suman Debnath was attacked on June 18 by oil mafias at Dharmanagar.
Before the election, two journalists Santanu Bhaumik, Sudip Datta Bhaumik of Trpura was killed back in 2017.
The increasing attacks upon journalists have become a matter of concern.
Increasing attacks upon journalists have become a matter of concern even though a group of BJP boot licking journalists chosen to refrain from condemning this ghastly attack.
Tripura reeling under lawless era under Biplab Deb as everyday crimes are increasing, no respite from hooligans but Chief Minister is busy in lecturing masses from 'Oxyzen by Ducks' to 'Internet in Mahabharat'.
