Tripura CPI(M) Demands Reversal of Alleged Rice Ration Cut

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Tripura has publicly opposed what it describes as a cut in the rice quota allotted under the state’s public distribution system. Party officials claim that the reduction, if confirmed, would affect the food security of vulnerable households that rely on the ration system.

In a statement released to the media, CPI(M) leaders demanded that the state government roll back the alleged cut and restore the previous allocation levels. They warned that any continuation of the policy could trigger further protests and legal challenges.

State authorities have not yet responded to the party’s allegations, and the matter remains under discussion among policymakers and civil‑society groups. The issue is being closely watched as it touches on both food‑grain distribution and political accountability in the northeastern state.
