Tripura: March of the Youth for Jobs and Against Addiction

It was 8 am on Sunday, the eighth of February. A group of young men and women were standing in the Drop Gate area of Agartala.

The decision of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Administration to rusticate all four elected office-bearers of the JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) along with its former President for two semesters, declare the campus ‘out of bounds’ for them, and impose heavy fines, is a direct attack on the democratic fabric of the University.

Tripura: Confront BJP-Motha’s Betrayal and Conspiracy: Jitendra Chaudhury

Vehicles were hired free of cost. Yet many of them ran almost empty. Several quintals of cooked meat were also distributed for free.
