Tripura celebrated R-Day amid boycott calls 
In order to take part in this year's Republic Day celebrations, Tripura reportedly defied boycott calls from at least four militant organisations. During the occasion, Governor Tathagata Roy unfurled the national flag at the Assam Rifles parade ground in Agartala where the programme was held. The participants of the parade included the state police, paramilitary forces and NCC cadets.
