Union Home minister Amit Shah who will visit Tripura to attend the 72nd Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council (NEC) is likely to visit Reang tribal settlement camps in Dhalai district.

Over 37,135 displaced Reang tribals migrated from Mizoram in 1997 after ethnic troubles there and settled in 12 locations in four districts of Tripura -- North Tripura, Dhalai, Gomati, and South Tripura.

A quadripartite agreement was signed in January 2020 between the Centre, Tripura, and Mizoram governments and the Reang tribal leaders to resettle the 37,136 tribal immigrants comprising 6,302 families in 12 locations in four of Tripura’s eight districts.


A Tripura government official said that the Home Minister would visit the Reang tribal settlement camp at Bruha para (Haduklau para) in Dhalai district on December 22 and he would address a public meeting at Masurai Para in the district.

Shah would also attend the National Cooperative Conference on the same day at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala.

Home Minister Amit Shah, Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Governors and Chief Ministers of all eight northeastern states will attend the Plenary Session of the NEC in Agartala on December 21.

The official said that Governors, Chief Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, top officials of the Centre and eight NE states would attend the important NEC meeting.
