In a recent demonstration of discontent, Tripura Pradesh Mahila Congress staged a protest at West Agartala Women Police Station, alleging rise in insecurities faced by women under the rule of BJP government.
Expressing grave concern, co-president Ratna Singha highlighted the surge in crimes against women across the state.
