PM Modi, HM Shah extend greetings to all countrymen on Bhai Dooj
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, "I wish all my countrymen a very Happy Bhai Dooj. I hope that this auspicious occasion deepens the affection between brothers and sisters."
The Union government, Tripura government, and representatives of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) on Wednesday signed a historic Memorandum of Settlement, aiming to bring long-lasting peace to Tripura.
The agreement, witnessed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Shah, represents a crucial step towards eradicating decades of violence and integrating former militants into mainstream society.
This settlement is part of a broader effort under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to transform the Northeast into a region free from extremism and conflict, HM Shah said.

The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), formed in 1989, and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), established in 1990, have both been involved in armed struggles for Tripura’s independence. Their commitment to peace through this agreement marks the culmination of years of negotiation and a significant reduction in insurgent activities across the state.
This is one of several agreements signed under the Modi government, contributing to around 10,000 militants laying down their arms and joining the mainstream.
In NDA rule, the government has signed 12 important agreements to bring peace and prosperity in the Northeast region, of which three relate to Tripura.
Due to the signing of several agreements by the Modi government, around 10,000 people have given up arms and joined mainstream, according to a statement.
