In a significant political development in Tripura, supporters of Tipra Motha have reportedly taken control of the Ghorakappa ADC Village Committee under the Silachari Block in Gomati district.

According to a written representation dated April 23, 2026, a group of local individuals submitted a deputation to the concerned ADC authority, claiming control over the village committee. The document includes signatures, contact details, and an official seal, indicating that the representation was formally received by the local ADC office.

Signatories Mentioned in the Representation: Amal Tripura, Ajoy Tripura, Girendra Tripura, Lalengjoy Tripura, Arun Marak, Sanjoy Karmakar, Sibu Chandra Das, Sanjoy Purakayastha, Badra Kumar Tripura, Diben Kumar Tripura, Bongshi Kumar Tripura, Tapan Kumar Tripura, Hontaroy Tripura, Chiranjit Tripura, and Babin Tripura.

Sources allege that the formation or takeover of the ADC Village Committee was not conducted through any officially recognized or legal electoral process. Despite this, the deputation submitted by the group was reportedly accepted by the local ADC administration, raising serious questions about administrative oversight.

Reports are also emerging that similar incidents of ADC Village Committee takeovers are occurring in multiple locations across Tripura. Observers have expressed concern that instead of preventing such alleged illegal actions, local ADC authorities are receiving deputations from these groups in an official capacity.

The silence of both the Tripura state government and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) administration on the issue has further intensified concerns regarding governance and the rule of law in ADC-administered areas.

No official statement has yet been issued by the authorities regarding the legality of the takeover or the acceptance of the deputation.

The development is likely to have broader political and administrative implications across tribal areas of the state.
