September 4, 2024: The Indian government, the Tripura state government, and two insurgent groups, the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) signed a peace pact in New Delhi, aiming to end decades of violence and establish lasting peace in the Northeastern state on Wednesday. The agreement was signed in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha.

After the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government of India, the Tripura government, and the rebel groups NLFT and ATTF, Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his satisfaction, stating that it is a matter of great joy for all as after 35 years of conflict, these two groups have laid down arms and joined the mainstream, committing to the development of Tripura.

Since Prime Minister Modi took office, he has presented a vision of a prosperous and developed Northeast through peace and dialogue.  There was a significant gap between the people of the Northeast and Delhi. PM Modi not only bridged this gap through road, rail, and air connectivity but also eliminated the emotional distance between people, he added.
