The MHA has been working tirelessly to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed Northeast, free from extremism, violence and conflict, Shah said.

The Home Minister said under the leadership of PM Modi, the government has signed 12 important agreements to bring peace and prosperity in the Northeast region, of which, three relate to Tripura.

Around 10,000 people have given up arms and joined the mainstream due to these agreements, he said.
