National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) is still continuing its operation from Bangladesh, reports The Indian Express. According to a ‘confidential report’ prepared by State and Central Security Agencies based on the discussions during the 52nd Directional-level Lead Intelligence Agency (LIA) meeting organized by the Border Security Force (BSF) in Agartala on June 15, NLFT is operating “two camps at Silchari and Ujjanchari in the Rangamati District of Bangladesh apart from two ‘safe houses’ at Dhaka and Chittagong” and has been making movements especially in Khowai and Dhalai Districts of Tripura. The reports states though the outfit suffered setback with the arrest of its ‘self-styled commander’ Parimal Debbarma in Mizoram on March 13, 2021, yet it continues to recruit young boys on the condition of money and food. Northeast Now adds that while top leaders of the Biswamohan faction of NLFT (NLFT-BM), including the outfit’s ‘secretary general’, Utpal Debbarma; ‘finance secretary’, Sonadhan Debbarma and ‘youth affairs secretary’ Sachin Debbarma are operating in Bangladesh with 40 militants, NLFT-BM’s ‘advisor’ Biswa Mohan Debbarma and ‘president’ Jacob Hrawngkhal are lying low in Mizoram and Myanmar respectively. The report says that NLFT which was banned in 1997 with most of its militants surrendered or killed, have planned to overcome its financial crisis through extortion and kidnapping activities with the help of its young recruits who have undergone training in the recent past at Nabakchhara, Silchhari and Segunbagan camps in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and came back to Tripura and presently scattered in many areas.
