Khowai, Tripura, 26th of July 2026 : The Teliamura District Congress on Monday organised a two-hour mass sit-in demonstration near Kohinoor Complex in Khowai under the banner of the Tripura Pradesh Unorganised Workers’ Congress. The protest was held against the recent hike in electricity tariffs and demanded higher wages and allowances for Mid-Day Meal workers, ASHA workers, and other unorganised labourers.

Addressing the gathering during today’s mass sit-in demonstration, Teliamura District Congress President Pradyut Bhattacharjee criticised both the State and Central Governments. He strongly protested the alleged increase in electricity charges, claiming that the power utility was burdening ordinary consumers through various additional fees.
