NLFT Surrenderees End National Highway Blockade in Tripura After Minister Bikash Debbarma’s Assurance

Surrendered cadres of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) announced the removal of a blockade they had imposed on a national highway in the state. The decision came after the group received a direct assurance from Tripura’s minister Bikash Debbarma that their concerns would be addressed.
The minister met the former insurgents and conveyed the government’s willingness to engage constructively, prompting the NLFT members to end the road obstruction that had disrupted traffic and commerce.
Authorities welcomed the move, noting that the swift de‑escalation helps restore normalcy on a critical transport corridor and underscores the impact of political outreach in conflict‑prone regions.
