AGARTALA, Oct 5 (TIWN): Govt of India has declined INPT's claim of "NRC likely to be implemented" in Tripura as true.

Union Home Minister met a delegation of INPT led by its President Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl on 4th October, 2018. However, no assurance of any kind was given by Union Home Minister regarding implementation of NRC in the State of Tripura. It is categorically asserted that no decision has been taken on the issue of NRC in Tripura", PTI reported.
