2008 Agartala bombings

The 2008 Agartala bombings refer to a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that occurred on October 1, 2008, in Agartala, the capital of Tripura, India. The attacks primarily targeted two locations: the Bazar area and the Tripura State Electricity Corporation office, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least four individuals and injuring over 50 others. The bombings were attributed to the outlawed armed group, National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), which sought greater autonomy and rights for indigenous tribal communities in the region. The incident highlighted ongoing security challenges in Northeast India, raising concerns over insurgency and communal tensions. Following the bombings, law enforcement agencies intensified operations against militant groups in the area.
