AGARTALA, June 3 (TIWN): Lately, but finally Congress opposed the strike called by IPFT that is to begin from July 10.

In a Press Conference, PCC Chief Birjit Sinha said that the strike is illogical and inhuman.

However, like Trinamool Congress didn’t demand any all party meeting by the state govt to sort out the issue.

The tribal-based party Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), which has been agitating for the creation of a separate state, announced that it would block National Highway-8 and the rail tracks for an indefinite period from July 10.

The IPFT for the past few years has been agitating for the creation of a separate state, carved out by upgrading the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) area. The TTAADC was formed in 1987 under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution to protect and safeguard the political, economic and cultural interests of the tribals.
