Live updates: Supreme Court will hear Trinamool petition on violence in Tripura.
The Supreme Court is prepared to hear a contempt statement from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which stated that the law and order situation in Tripura is “worsening” day by day, ahead of the civic body elections in the state.
The Court had previously asked the Tripura police authorities to ensure that no political party is prevented from exercising its rights under the law to conduct political campaigns peacefully.
Tensions in Tripura rose after violent incidents in the run-up to elections to the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and 12 other municipal bodies scheduled for November 25.
Trinamool previously alleged that several people were injured after an attack on the residence of the head of the Steering Committee of the Trinamool Congress Tripura unit, Subal Bhowmik, in the Bhagaban Thakur Chowmuni area of Agartala on Sunday.
