Agartala : , Tuesday, December 29, 2009 : .Protests began in Tripura on Tuesday after announcement of applicants for various positions including riflemen in Tripura’s State Rifles (TSR) and continued Wednesday when individuals whose names were not on the list attacked BJP offices located in different areas of Tripura. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a large number of candidates who were rejected attacked the offices of Bharatiya Janata Party in different parts of the state.They also held agitation within various sub-divisions and districts.
For not being selected for the TSR job, the angry candidates stormed the offices of the BJP party and began arguing with the leaders in various Gomati and South Tripura areas.
Women and men were threatened by the agitated candidates to file cases at the Tripura High Court.
An angry BJP representative from north Tripura voiced his dismay on social media about the list.On Wednesday, however, the legislator removed his Facebook post.
Senior police officers said that the Tripura police chief published Monday the names of 1,443 candidates, including 138 women, to the posts of Riflemen or Riflemen (tradesmen), to create two additional battalions for TSR under the Indian Reserve battalion category.Three-fifths of the 1,443 chosen candidates are from other states.
Tripura has currently 12 TSR battalions.
One battalion deployed to Delhi, and the Union Home Ministry posted another under Oil and Natural Gas Corporation.
A second battalion will soon be under South Eastern Coal Fields Limited, Chhattisgarh.
Trained in anti-insurgency operations and raised to the rank of TSR in March 1984, this officer was trained in terrorism.
75% of the personnel come from Tripura and the rest are drawn from all over the country.Nine of the twelve TSR battalions are IR battalions and can be deployed wherever the Union Home Ministry wishes.
Two more IR battalions were sanctioned by the Union Home Ministry earlier.The Tripura government is now attempting to hire personnel for these two new TSR battalions.
TSR’s IR battalions provided security for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, New Delhi.They also served as election officers in 16 other states (Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh), Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Delhi.
TSR also performed admirably in Tripura when it came to calming terrorists.
