The state of Tripura has reinstated village committee elections in its tribal regions after a ten-year pause, marking a significant step towards local governance.
The state of Tripura has announced that village committee elections will be held in its tribal areas after a decade-long hiatus, aiming to strengthen grassroots democracy.
The elections are scheduled to take place over a week in early September, with more than 200 village committees slated to be elected across the district.
Local leaders have welcomed the move, citing the need for greater representation of tribal communities in decision‑making processes.
Officials say the new committees will focus on development projects such as road construction, water supply and education initiatives, hoping to bridge the gap between the state government and remote villages.
