A blockade organised by surrendered militants in Tripura has entered its second day, halting several train services and restricting vehicular movement across the state.
The blockade, staged by a group of surrendered militants, began yesterday in Tripura and has now entered its second day. Railway authorities have suspended multiple passenger trains passing through the affected zones, citing safety concerns for commuters and staff.
State police reported that the militants have set up roadblocks on major highways, causing significant delays for private and commercial vehicles. Traffic police have redirected some routes, but congestion remains high in several districts.
Local officials said they are in continuous dialogue with the militants to resolve the standoff peacefully, while urging the public to avoid the affected corridors until normalcy is restored.
The disruption comes amid heightened security vigilance in the Northeast, with authorities monitoring the situation closely to prevent any escalation.
No injuries have been reported so far, and the railway network is expected to resume limited services once the blockade is cleared.
