CPIM’s tribal outfits in Tripura organized a sit‑in to call for an inquiry into more than 250 alleged Additional District Collector appointments.
Tripura witnessed a sit‑in organized by the tribal wings of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Monday. The protestors gathered at a prominent public venue in the state capital, demanding a thorough investigation into a series of alleged appointments to the Additional District Collector (ADC) posts.
The activists allege that over 250 individuals have been appointed to ADC positions without following the prescribed legal and merit‑based procedures. They contend that the appointments undermine administrative transparency and bypass the rules governing civil service recruitment.
The tribal outfits have submitted a formal request to the state government and the Chief Minister, urging an immediate probe into the matter. They have called for the suspension of the contested appointments until the inquiry is completed, emphasizing the need to uphold fairness in the state's bureaucratic appointments.
No official response from the government has been recorded at the time of reporting, and the sit‑in is expected to continue until their demands are addressed.
