A high-power committee constituted by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to
probe socio-economic, cultural and linguistic problems faced by Tripura’s
tribal communities is visiting Tripura since Thursday. This committee was
announced by PM Modi in response to a demand placed by the Indigenous Peoples
Front of Tripura (IPFT).  In a deputation to the team, Tripura’s ruling alliance partner IPFT
demanded ‘Tipraland’ — a proposed separate state for tribals. Tipraland was the
main agenda of IPFT before February 18 assembly elections this year.  “……while making recommendation to make the suitable steps for addressing
the issues related to socio, economic, educational, linguistic, cultural etc.
problems of the tribals of the state, the High-Level Committee should make
serious attempts to find out the reasons behind the demand for the separate
state of ‘Tipraland’ and address the related issues accordinglyâ€, IPFT
memorandum submitted to the MHA high power committee said.
