Agartala, August 1: Two organizations representing pre-1998 and post-1998 returnees of the former insurgent outfits, JARC and JAC, have announced an indefinite road and railway blockade beginning on Thursday, August 13, 2026, demanding the fulfillment of their nine-point charter of demands.
According to a statement issued by the organizations, the proposed agitation will include a blockade of National Highway-8 near Chandra Sadhu Para (Sadrai Twisa), Hathai Kotor at Champaknagar Bridge, as well as a railway track blockade at Athuk Kwthang Twisa near Brigudas Kami.
The organizations said the protest would be organized as a “Gen-Z Youth Aggressive Movement” and described it as a “do-or-die” campaign, alleging that the government has ignored their long-pending demands and treated the returnee groups with indifference.
JARC and JAC stated that the indefinite blockade is intended to pressure the government into addressing the issues raised in their nine-point demand charter. They also appealed to the people of Tripura for understanding and cooperation, acknowledging that the agitation could cause inconvenience to the public.
Further details regarding the nine-point demands and the government’s response were not immediately available. Authorities have also not issued an official statement on the proposed blockade at the time of filing this report.
