Tripura Tiger Force

The Tripura Tiger Force is one the major militant group that operates in the city of Tripura. The group drifted apart from the Tripura National Volunteers under the leadership of Ranjit Debbarma. The faction of the group was called the All Tripura Tribal Force that was formed on 11th July, 1990. The group later renamed itself as the All Tripura Tiger Force in the year 1992.

The small faction of extremists worked in the remote areas of the districts of Tripura. Gathering force by inculcating the tribal youth of the region, the group grew to become an influential militant association that has been correlated with other groups like the Tripura Tribal Youth Force, Tripura Lion Force, Tripura Liberation Organization and the Tripura National Army.

Although strictly administered, the All Tripura Tiger Force had faced disappointment when a group of 1,600 cadres laid down their arms in the year 1994. The remaining members of the extremist group continued to function and were declared as banned in the year 1997 according to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of1967. The organization works to retrieve the rightful land of the tribal people by eviction of the Bengali immigrants who settled in the state of Tripura. The insurgencies continue to achieve the objective of the group.

The organizational head of the group is Ranjit Debbarma who leads as the President of the All Tripura Tiger Force. The political faction of the group, Tripura Peoples' Democratic Front, is believed to run a parallel government in the fringes of the state. The organizational headquarters is at Tarabon in Bangladesh where the President has taken refuge.
