In a facebook live session on Thursday, Bubagra Pradyot provided an update on the SZDO exam issue and retracted his statement from his previous press conference about cancelling the exam and to hand over the recruitment process to TPSC.

He divulged that any written complaints about question paper leakage has not been received. The concerns were only raised by some candidates who attained passing mark but were not qualified.

" This is my view. We'll publish a notice soon and one month will be allotted to those candidates who believe they have qualified but their name is not in the list. They can bring their question and OMR sheet to TTAADC and compare their marksheet." Bubagra Pradyot stated in the Facebook live.

" If genuinely you have qualified but your name is not there then you'll be given justice. I have said this to everyone because I don't want any genuine person to miss out." he further added.

Bubagra also stated that if anyone believes that their marksheet has been manipulated they can also submit a written complaint. He assured that genuine case will be reviewed.

He also retracted his previous statement of handing over the control to TPSC and clarified that what he intended to say was only he wanted qualified officers of the state to be the part of the recruitment board along with some TTAADC officers.

This clarification came after the statement in previous press conference was receiving a lot of backlash mostly from that students concerned about relinquishing autonomy of the sixth schedule council and not satisfied with discarding the entire result.

Bubagra Pradyot Manikya speaks for quality education in the TTAADC council session on 24th September.

The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) met for a one-day session on Tuesday to discuss topics such as education quality, healthcare, and indigenous community social welfare.

During the TTAADC council meeting, Bubagra Pradyot's frustration was evident as he responded to MDC Dhirendra Debbarma's call for attention. With a heavy heart, he reiterated his unwavering commitment to providing the Tiprasa youth with a high-quality, merit-based education—an aspiration he has tirelessly worked toward. However, he pointed out with apparent grief the awful fact that corrupt officials and the CPIM's haunting legacy continue to serve as brutal hurdles. Each step forward, he explained, is hindered by these forces, denying a whole generation of the opportunity to climb through education and achieve the future they deserve but may never see.

The decision to handover the responsibility of conducting exams for TTAADC to a state government institute-TPSC received mixed reactions from the public.

A section of people considered it an act of surrendering autonomy and submitting it to the state government while the core demand of the party in power in TTAADC is greater autonomy.

"What is the use of demanding greater tipraland if you want to be dependent on state govt", "First we fight for seperate administration , then we hand them back?". These sorts of remarks were the views of the public in comment section where the press conference was uploaded.

On the contrary, there were also people who appreciated the move to cancel the SZDO exam and conducting a fresh one to be overseen by the Tripura Public Service Commission as it might assure fairness in the process and provide everyone an equal opportunity.

The TTAADC has been appearing to struggle to manage its own affairs, even conducting one fair examination. But people also accused TPSC of having their own shortcomings, creating delay in conducting exams and publishing results.

The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) held for a one-day session on Tuesday.

The session began at 11 a.m. emphasizing critical need to raise the quality of education in TTAADC regions. It also highlighted the state government’s control over markets within ADC regions.

During the question hour, Tipra M***a MDC Uma Sankar Debbarma, asked a pressing question, to which EM Bhabha Ranjan Reang responded by revealing that markets in Damcherra, Kanchanpur, Tajarkala, and other TTAADC areas technically being under the TTAADC’s jurisdiction, they are actually controlled by the state government. He noted that the state government collects taxes from these markets and oversees development projects, including the construction of market shelters. In response, MDC Bidyut Debbarma sarcastically commented, "It’s like the pond belongs to us, but the fish are someone else's."

Currently, many major market junction in TTAADC are being taxed by the State Government. The development and decision making on these market places comes directly under the State Government. However, discussion has begun on shifting its authority solely over to the TTAADC Goverment.

A Tripura Miss Universe contender is receiving mixed reactions from netizens on her representation of the state.

A video of the costume competition in a Miss Universe India round has been able to attain maximum focus but not because of its obvious reasons. Netizens are having different kinds of reactions towards a contender from Tripura. Many have said the dress or costume did not truly reflect or was authentic for the culture of Tripura.

While representatives from other states of Northeast India have been able to add indigenous cultural elements in their dress or stayed authentic to their culture, Tripura's representative went ahead with what seems to be an inspiration of a Hindu Goddess.

Many have pointed it out to be ‘misrepresentation’ and have asked to reconsider the idea when representing Tripura. Netizens have mixed reactions especially on the videos with many asking for Tripura to be represented properly.

"The traditional attire of Tripura which is the Tiprasa's Rignai and Risa recently received its GI tag and it would have been a better choice for the designer", said many.

Minorities in Bangladesh from the Chittagong District were allegedly attacked by Bangladeshi Muslims yesterday. The situation escalated with their houses, places of business, and forests being burnt down. Videos containing gunshots have also gone viral. So far, 3 deaths have been confirmed by our source. However, according to social media, the death toll is more than 50, which includes Junan Chakma and Rubel Tripura.

According to sources, a Bangladeshi Muslim allegedly stole a two-wheeler vehicle from a Chakma village in Chittagong. Later, when the villagers found out, he was chased and had an accident involving an electric pole. He was then admitted to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. This is said to have sparked the ongoing violence in Bangladesh.

Dighinala lies in the Khagrachari District of Bangladesh and is about 200 km from Agartala, Tripura. The population there consists mainly of Chakmas, Mogs, and a few Bengali settlers.

The Bangladeshi army deployed in the district is allegedly shooting the victims of the outburst.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday has terminated the criminal proceedings against Army personel who were involved in misidentifying and killing of innocent civilians in Nagaland's Oting village.

The two judge bench of Supreme Court stated the proceedings in the impugned FIRs shall stand closed, however if sanction is granted, it maybe taken to its logical conclusion. The Court has left room for disciplinary actions by the Army internally.

Naga's apex body Naga Hoho asserted their discontent and resentment of the Supreme Court's ruling and emphasized on AFSPA and the injustices faced by Naga people, tagging it as "Draconian law".

The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) had also published a communique conveying their indignation and raise three-fold demands including persecution sanction against the involved personnel, full accountability from Union goverment and immediate revocation of AFSPA.

The incident of Mon district in 2021 unfurled outrage in the entire state of Nagaland and other North East region after the news of the killing of 14 civilians arrested national attention, with many demanding AFSPA to be repelled.

The persisting ethnic strife of Manipur is patently complex and multidimensional but the one particular area that mirrors with the core issue of Tripura is cross border illegal immigration and insecurity among the indigenous people.

An interview of Khuraijam Athouba, the spokesperson of COCOMI (Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity), on NEWS9 Live shed light on the same in regards to the communities of Manipur, illegal immigration, NRC phobia and unsecured borders.

Mr. Athouba claimed that the native Kuki people who are known as Thadou and Khongsai by them are now potentially being misrepresented by the immigrant group leaders.

" We never fix responsibilities or blame the civilian Kuki people. There are native Kuki people who have been naturalized by our Kings (Meitei Kings) since 1830s. But they are now being overwhelmed by the recent immigrant refugee population " he stated.

He asserted that Manipur had been adopting waves of refugees since 1962 and Indian constitution fails to keep them under certain categories and also they have been naturalized and made citizens.

" How on earth the constitution of India instead of protecting us, the indigenous people, adopting immigrants and giving them all the rights and privileges and constitutional protections to them?" Athouba raised a question.

The spokesperson expressed that NRC should be implemented and it should have a retrospective effect and have as base year of 1951. Whoever are identified entering past the base date should be kept under certain categories and not be naturalized and become the indigenous people of the territory.

He also questioned on credibility of Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) for opposing NRC. "If they are indigenous tribal leader of Manipur why don't they want to register or update their register as the citizen of the country?" he questioned.

"Many of there people are now protesting the international border fencing so what does it mean?" Athouba added. In the interview, he explained the core issues which behind the ethnic conflict.

A YouTube channel ‘TRIPURA SPORTS’ is on an ambitious journey to cover the ground scenario of Tripura sports. Ranging from local clubs match to tournament, the channel now focuses on bringing the live match coverage to viewers.

With 1.58K subscribers as of now, ‘TRIPURA SPORTS’ has managed to garner enough traction on the channel videos. Whether it is the edited highlights of matches with slow-mo videos of goals.

Also, beyond the pitch, it has featured interviews with behind the scenes personality like Subodh Debbarma who is an established football coach from Jampuijala. While the channel heavily covers football matches it has also featured a Kabaddi match between Jampuijala and Gabordi.

Now, the initiative to open the YouTube channel to cover Tripura sports is of Mrinal Debbarma, who is also a filmmaker and director.

While Tripura do lack channel exclusively focusing on ground coverage of sports; initiatives such as the “TRIPURA SPORTS” starts a new approach. One good example of such focused channel from Northeast is the Zoonet Cable from Mizoram which cover sports.

TRIPURA SPORTS could be one such start to bring the scenario of Tripura sports from its tightly scheduled football leagues to less known other sports leagues from across the state.

TTAADC's subzonal exam manages to become the talk of the town once again and very much like the previous time, not for its good reasons. After a couple of scandals and multiple obstacles aspirants finally wrote their exam in the month of July & its interview list is now out. The list made it to the news again as it only consisted of the roll number of the selected candidates and only that. There was no marking, no information on the cutoff & of course no transparency overall. To put a cherry on top, the notification was also wrongly dated.

ADC's inability to employ without being in the news doesn't seem to surprise people anymore.

However, there are so many things the administration could have done to easily avoid these problems, starting with having 110 Sub-zonal DO & Dy PO all at once. TTAADC prior to this did not have any experience in hiring aspirants at this level so it could have taken a few every year. A 15-20 new vacancy on the same post for the next 4-5 years could have enabled them experience & aspirants of better level could have been employed. Having said that, fulfilling 110 vacancies for these important positions should be a priority but it was vacant for more than 10 years and a little more years for better aspirants could have done less harm. Political stunt before 2025 election or genuinely wanted benefit for ADC, now no one can tell.

Another problem was the syllabus itself. The position of Sub-zonal chairman is seen somewhat equivalent to a TCS officer however the syllabus was nothing equivalent to it. The syllabus given by the TTAADC administration has "etc" for its General Studies section which means anything similar can come for the exam and it did. Civics took the form of "etc" & 15 marks of questions related to Articles were seen & almost no one could predict. The syllabus gave no clarity over which part of history & geography to prepare for. It did not mention if more weightage would be given to India based questions or to Tripura.

According to a few aspirants, they could easily get in the exam hall with a mobile phone and conversation during exam hours was also not difficult.

A Criticism Article by the people from Homchang.

This is a developing news as Bubagra Pradyot have recently requested TTAADC to publish more details of the selected candidates.

Tripura youngest legislator and representative of 48-Karamcherra Paul Dangshu has relentless in questions and bringing attention to Tripura education scenario.

Dangshu raised concerns of students future who come from interior areas and also the lack of higher education infrastructure in remote areas. More importantly Dangshu demanded the house on expanding Technical Institutes and Educational hubs within the state especially in TTAADC areas.

On the second day, Paul Dangshu said: “Addressing the need for upgrading maximum Secondary Schools to Higher Secondary within the Constituency at the 5th session of the 13th Assembly. After 10th pass out most of the students who had studied in bengali mediums are facing difficulties now in English Schools as there are less options left for them but to take admission like Vidyajyoti Schools due to lack of H.S. Schools.”

“As a legislator in Government, my focus will remain in asking English Medium Schools for the better future. Till then my urge to Education Department is to upgrade existing High schools to Higher Secondaries,” said Dangshu in a statement.

Another focus on education has been brought on by MLA Sudip Roy Barman who raised questions on ‘‘Super 30”, Kokborok education development, and PGT recruitment.

In the question hour, notable queries included the performance of the “Super 30” scheme under the State’s Secondary Education Department. He raised concerns about the program, revealing that, since its inception in 2020, 144 students had enrolled, with a total expenditure of ₹5.22 crore.

However, only 15 students passed JEE, 10 passed NEET, and among them, only 2 students were from Scheduled Tribes (ST), and 5 from Scheduled Castes (SC).

The Congress MLA another question revealed the shortage of teachers, with a deficit of 1,775 teachers for classes I to VIII and a need for 1,280 graduate and 691 post-graduate teachers for classes IX to XII.

The 5th session of the Tripura Legislative Assembly begun on September 4, 2024 till September 6, 2024.

On what has been called a historic and an end to the 35-years long armed struggle by Tripura insurgents; the signing of the memorandum of settlement between NLFT and ATTF with Government of India is a significant step towards inclusive policy.

The fundamental principle of both the insurgent groups has been to address the situation of the Indigenous Tiprasa people. These include dispossession, land alienation, discrimination in own land, influx of illegal bangladeshi immigrants and demographic instability.

The NLFT came to being from 1989 followed by ATTF in 1990; of which factions of both the groups have already signed an agreement with the center. However, the recent agreement approach have seen both the groups coming together to rest it's armed struggle and enter the mainstream politics.

The negotiations and round of talks that reportedly began in 2023 from Guwahati to New Delhi. Bubagra Pradyot Manikya, who is also the founder of Tipra M***a has played an important role in starting the conversation cutting across party lines.

This memorandum of settlement is also crucial TIPRASA Accord which was signed on March 2, 2024 between Tipra M***a, Government of India (GoI) and Tripura Government. What it leads to is inclusion of more stakeholders to see through the implementation of the accord.

In order to bring all Tiprasa leaders and national workers to one platform such comprehensive framework is a beginning. Bubagra Pradyot have said the focus now is in the implementation of the TIPRASA Accord and that all stakeholders must play a constructive role to see it through.

What is more important is that; this agreement frees Tiprasas from the taint of accusations of being sectarian when fighting for one own fundamental rights. The emergence of stakeholders in the mainstream politics could be a strong step to final constitutional solution and also take ahead the discussion of Greater Tipraland.

Twipra Students’ Federation on Wednesday along with Aguli (Agartala) Town and College Committe within the TSF staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the Circuit House in Aguli (Agartala).

The protestors mostly students, holding placards and chanting slogans, demanded the introduction of Kokborok Script Bill inclusion of the Roman script for the Kokborok language.

The organization statement says :“TSF and the Tiprasa community have been advocating for the Roman script as the most appropriate and preferred script for Kokborok. Despite the ongoing efforts, which have been ongoing since the formation of TSF in 1968, there has been little progress, compelling the community to continue their fight.

“The persistence of these demands reflects the deep belief within the community that the Roman script is crucial for the accurate representation and development of the Kokborok language,” a statement by TSF Aguli (Agartala) Town and College Committee said.

The students organization emphasized that all Tiprasas want Kokborok in Roman script. This would also help in preserving the Kokborok language but also make it more accessible to younger generations and non-native speakers.

They believe that this change is crucial for strengthening the cultural identity of the Tiprasa people and improving educational outcomes for students learning Kokborok.

TSF have said that there is need for constructive government action for final script solution in the form of a state act to uplift and solidify Kokborok Language position across all platforms.
