Bru body threatens strike in Tripura from Thursday if demands not meet

AIZAWL | AGARTALA | October 30, 2019:

Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Forum on Tuesday threatened to launch an indefinite strike in Tripura from Thursday.

The strike is against demanding resumption of free ration and cash dole to the 35,000 displaced people living in relief camps in the state.

The strike was called by the Bru body, since the Centre has not supplied ration and cash dole to the refugees for the month of October.

"The hungry, desperate and displaced Brus could no longer merely watch the crying of innocent children, bed-ridden patients and lactating mothers," MBDPF wrote to North Tripura DM Ravel H Kumar on Tuesday.
