Tribal party in Tripura against wildlife sanctuaries

Agartala, Dec 28 : Tribal party Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) today threatened to launch agitation to protest the alleged state government move to set up four more wildlife sanctuaries in the tribal-dominated hilly region in Tripura.

Informing this, INPT general secretary Rabindra Debbarma told newspersons that the party protested the establishment of new sanctuaries as well as “deprivation” to the actual beneficiaries in the implementation of Scheduled Tribes and Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
