The Sadar District Congress Committee organised a protest rally demanding the withdrawal of the draft Farm Seeds Bill and the Electricity Privatization and Commercialization Bill 2025. The demonstration, held in Agartala, saw party workers and supporters marching with placards and raising slogans against the proposed legislation.
Leaders of the district committee stated that the new bills could burden farmers, increase production costs, and pave the way for corporate control over essential agricultural inputs and public utilities. They argued that privatization of electricity would adversely affect consumers and disrupt equitable access to basic services.
Participants urged the government to reconsider the drafts and engage in wider public consultation before moving forward. The rally concluded peacefully.
