AMID BRU STIR IN TRIPURA, GOVT IMPOSES SEC 144

AIZAWL: Roadblock by Bru refugees demanding resumption of free ration to them continued for the sixth day, while the Tripura government decided to impose prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CRPC in the area where the displaced people barricaded the road from Tuesday night. Road communication from Ananda Bazar to Kanchapur via Dasda in North Tripura district has collapsed due to the blockade, an official said. “Prohibitory orders under Section 144 CRPC would be in force from tonight to ensure that the road is cleared from tomorrow enabling essential commodities and commuters to pass,” Kanchanpur sub-divisional magistrate Abhedananda Baidya told PTI.
