Govt to sign peace pact with two insurgent groups of Tripura on Wednesday

Two insurgent groups in Tripura have agreed to give up arms and join the mainstream in a historic peace agreement signed with the Centre and the state government. With the singing of this agreement, Tripura is left with no insurgent groups after many decades.

"Today is a historic day for us. The struggle that we saw for the last 35 years, today I'm glad these groups have put down weapons and are walking on the path to peace," Union Home Minister Amit Shah said.

He said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been working tirelessly to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a developed northeast, free from extremism, violence and conflict.
