Dharmanagar, Tripura, 17th of February, 2026 : Alleging that innocent tribal brothers and sisters have been misled in the name of “Tipraland” and “Greater Tipraland,” Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha delivered a sharp message at a massive tribal gathering held in Demdum of Unakoti district on Tuesday.
