IPFT was to conduct the rally on Agust-23 at Agartala, but following IPFT's 10 day long blockade at National Highway and last year 2016's clashes among the Tribal and Bengalis have led the administration not to permit for IPFT's rally on 2017's same day.

At the end of the session, cancellation of IPFT’s rally at Agartala proven as a great decision taken by Tripura Police.
