Agartala: Tension gripped the Colonel Chaumuhani area of Agartala after CPM workers and supporters staged a road blockade to protest an alleged attack on party workers.

The protesters sat on the road, disrupting traffic for an extended period and causing inconvenience to commuters and ordinary passengers. Following the incident, senior police officers rushed to the spot and held discussions with the protesters in an effort to restore normalcy.

The blockade was eventually withdrawn after the police assured the protesters that necessary action would be taken.

Meanwhile, CPM workers and supporters expressed strong resentment over the incident, accusing miscreants allegedly sheltered by the BJP of targeting party members. They claimed that the attacks were politically motivated and linked to their political opposition.

The situation eased after the protesters lifted the blockade, allowing traffic movement to resume.
