Agartala, July 13 (ANI): The Congress party, on Friday, observed a twelve-hour statewide strike in Tripura over irregularities in the results of the Tripura Joint Entrance Examination Board (TJEEB).

We have instructed out workers that the bandh will be absolutely peaceful,” Barman said.He added that they are demanding a judicial probe into the matter and would be approaching the court in this regard.
