Violence in Tripura continued- fourth consecutive day

Agartala, March 07: The post-poll violence in Tripura continued for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday even as the administration, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) urged everyone to maintain peace.

Calling for maintaining peace, Chief Minister-designate Biplab Kumar Deb repeatedly urged the people not to disturb peace and attack the rival party members.

According to the leaders of CPI-M, two statues of Vladimir Lenin were razed by the BJP activists in Tripura.

"A statue of Vladimir Lenin was knocked down by the BJP activists on Monday night at Sabroom in southern Tripura. The statue was set up a few years back," Tripura CPI-M state secretary Bijan Dhar said on Tuesday night.
