Agartala, 11th November 2026 : Ahead of the upcoming Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) elections, the CPI(M) Sadar Sub-Divisional Committee has submitted a memorandum to Sadar Sub-Divisional Magistrate Manik Lal Das, urging the administration to ensure peaceful, free and fair elections while safeguarding the democratic rights of voters and candidates.
On Wednesday, a delegation of CPI(M) leaders, including Amal Chakraborty and other party functionaries and workers, visited the SDM’s office and submitted the memorandum, highlighting several alleged instances of obstruction and intimidation during the election campaign.
According to the party, its candidates are facing difficulties while conducting door-to-door campaigns, while threats have also been issued to damage party flags, posters, banners and flexes. The memorandum further alleged that candidates, proposers and party workers were being subjected to intimidation.
The CPI(M) also expressed concern over an alleged atmosphere of fear among voters and called upon the administration to ensure the safety of women and senior citizens so that people can exercise their voting rights without pressure or intimidation.
Additionally, the party raised objections to the placement of political flags and campaign materials on traffic islands and heritage sites across Agartala, demanding their removal in accordance with the Model Code of Conduct.
Through the memorandum, the CPI(M) sought immediate administrative intervention, adequate security during election campaigns, proper investigation into the allegations of threats and obstruction, and strict enforcement of election guidelines to ensure a peaceful electoral environment.
