Notes

  • Representatives of the Joint Action Rehabilitation Committee (JARC) and the Joint Action Committee (JAC) in Tripura are seeking a comprehensive rehabilitation package for former extremists.
  • The groups represent individuals who surrendered over the past 30 years from at least five outlawed organizations that previously sought a separate tribal homeland.
  • These individuals did not surrender under formal peace agreements facilitated by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), having laid down arms without preconditions.
  • The lack of formal inclusion in MHA-led rehabilitation packages has left these individuals and their families facing significant socio-economic hardships.
  • The groups have engaged with state authorities, including the Governor and Chief Minister, to advocate for support, citing unfulfilled assurances.
