300 surrendered militants in Tripura begin 48-hour hunger strike for rehabilitation

Over 300 surrendered militants in Tripura, representing groups like the NLFT, ATTF, and BNCT, initiated a 48-hour hunger strike to demand their rehabilitation. These militants, who surrendered in phases until 2018, are calling for economic support, case withdrawals, and area development. S. K. Jamatia, their spokesperson, warned of larger agitations if demands remain unmet. Despite government schemes for militant rehabilitation, the protesters claim their issues remain unresolved, urging immediate action from the state.
