Violence erupts during Tripura tribal council elections

Sunday, 12 April 2026, 15:00 · 1 min read

Voting for the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) — the elected body governing tribal-majority regions of Tripura, a small state in northeastern India — was disrupted on Sunday by clashes between rival political groups that left several people injured. Incidents of bomb-throwing and vehicle attacks were reported across multiple locations. Despite the unrest, state election and police authorities characterised the overall polling as "by and large" peaceful, noting that security forces deployed in sensitive areas used mild force where necessary to restore order.
