This is a positive step. The people in Tripura deserve peace. No political victory is worth making fellow citizens homeless. Hope the high-level meeting leads to concrete action and compensation for those affected. Jai Hind.

Post-poll violence is a stain on our democracy. Whether it's Bengal, Tripura, or anywhere else, it must stop. The administration needs to be proactive, not reactive. Strong message needs to be sent that such hooliganism will not be tolerated.

Listening to grievances is the first step. But the real test is in the follow-through. Will the affected families get help rebuilding? Will the perpetrators be held accountable? The people are watching.

More than 200 people homeless? This is heartbreaking. Elections are about choosing leaders, not about creating victims. All parties must control their workers. Hope peace returns soon to Tripura. 🇮🇳

Good initiative by CM Saha. The visit shows concern. Now the police and administration must work without bias to restore law and order. Safety of every citizen is paramount, regardless of who they voted for.
