Overview
- A five-member Tipra Motha delegation led by TTAADC executive member Rabindra Debbarma met Chief Minister Manik Saha in Agartala to push two priorities.
- The party urged that elections to the tribal council be held before its current term ends on April 18 to prevent an administrative vacuum.
- Tipra Motha says the Chief Minister signaled readiness to accept the Roman script for Kokborok across examinations and urged formal approaches to TBSE, CBSE and ICSE.
- Leaders said they will visit Delhi shortly to meet CBSE and ICSE heads to press for recognition of the Roman script in board examinations.
- The TTAADC already uses the Roman script in its schools and state-run institutions allow Kokborok in Bengali or Roman, with no independent board confirmation or poll timetable announced.
