Tripura Grinds to a Halt as Civil Society Calls 24-Hour Bandh Demanding ILP, Action on Illegal Migrants
Oct 23, 2025Normal life came to a standstill across Tripura on Thursday as the Tripura Civil Society (TCS) enforced a 24-hour statewide bandh to press for eight key demands, including the introduction of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system, full implementation of the Tiprasa Accord, and the identification and deportation of illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
The bandh saw widespread participation, with protesters blocking roads and staging demonstrations in Agartala and over 45 locations across the state. Shops, markets remained largely shut, while public transport stayed off the roads. Police and paramilitary forces were deployed at major intersections and sensitive zones to maintain law and order.
Leading the agitation, Tipra Motha Party MLA Ranjit Debbarma accused the state government of neglecting the issue of illegal immigration. “The Tripura Government has not taken any steps, unlike Assam, Haryana, or Delhi, which have acted against illegal Bangladeshis,” Debbarma told reporters. “We are demanding that those living illegally in Tripura be identified and deported.”
The Tripura Civil Society said the 24-hour shutdown was called after repeated appeals to the government went unanswered.
Traffic disruptions were reported from several national and state highways, with vehicles stranded for hours. Educational institutions and government offices also recorded minimal attendance.
