Pradyot to move SC seeking village Council poll in Tripura ADC

Agartala, Aug 5 (UNI) Following the inaction by Tripura government on the High Court's directive, TIPRA Motha founder and royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarman on Monday announced that he will approach the Supreme Court to demand early village council elections in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).
Debbarman, whose party is an alliance partner in the BJP-led state government, said the delay in holding village council polls amounts to a violation of democratic rights in the Sixth Schedule area.
“The very purpose of the ADC to empower people and strengthen governance at the grassroots has been undermined by the failure to hold elections to local bodies,” Pradyot observed.
