What @tp_north @Tripura_Police should be doing instead is preempting, preventing violence & bringing the culprits to justice.Internet shutdown is a last resort of any administration in the face of unprecedented violence.This doesn't seem to be the case in North Tripura.2/n— Dibakar Dutta (দিবাকর দত্ত) (@dibakardutta_) October 16, 2024
