‘Swabhiman’ society held a colourful procession, named ‘Tripura Queer Pride Work’ in the heart of the Agartala city on Monday morning.

‘Swabhiman’ is the social group or organisation of LGBTQ activists in Tripura. The state government recently recognised the organisation and they organised their first event in the form of a pride walk.

The ‘Swabhiman’ president, Sneha Gupta Roy said to media that the activists of the LGBT community organised pride walks in every city and state of this country.

She added that such an event is organised for the first time in Tripura.
She said, “Our main motive is to create awareness amongst people about us. We are asking for the right to live with all kinds of liberties. The constitution has given us the rights.”
