AGARTALA, May 17 (TIWN): Security has been tightened at Agartala and other subdivisions ahead of 24 hours strike called by Congress.

Congress will raise 12 points including Chit Fund issues, 10,323 teachers who lost their jobs, demand for 7th Pay Commission, instead of TTADC to launch TTAC other demands.

On the other hand, CPI-M had asked Congress to withdraw the strike from 24 hours to 12 hours.

PCC Chief Birjit Sinha reacting over CPI-M's comment on Congress strike and offer to withdraw the strike, said that Congress will not observe strike but the demands should be fulfilled at any cost & if their demands are not fulfilled question doesn't arise to withdraw the strike. 'Our demands are both from CPI-M & BJP Govt', said Sinha. 

Another important point raised by Congress is regarding the delaying of compensation money to the affected families at border areas. Also zero point border fencing work’s faster completion’s demands to be raise also.

On the other hand instead of returning the money to the chit fund affected people, Tripura Govt had allegedly secured  the business with its moral support.

Moreover, the oppositions claimed that from the beginning CPI-M has taken plan-wise steps so that Rose Valley never comes under any CBI. In 2013 with an aim to cancel CBI inquiry against Rose Valley the cases were sent with a very minimum account, so that no CBI inquiry could occur in coming future.

However, with all these Congress has called for a 24 hours strike on May18.
