AGARTALA, DEC. 30. The Tripura Governor, D.N. Sahaya, has dissolved the 30-member Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) as the ruling Nationalist Socialist Party of Tripura (NSPT) was reduced to a minority following a defection. Mr. Sahaya asked the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TTAADC, S.K. Rakesh, to run the administration for six months, Raj Bhavan sources said. The tribal council constitutes two-third of total State territory where most of the tribals, who constitute one third of the State's population, live. Of the 30 members, 28 are elected and the rest two are nominated by the Governor. Till June 7, 2003, the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) ruled the tribal council but it became a minority on the day as a faction of leaders defected and formed the Nationalist Socialist Party of Tripura (NSPT). The NSPT suffered a split and five members from the party again joined the INPT and a delegation of INPT led by the former Chief Executive member of the TTAADC Debabrata Koloy met the Governor along with 15 members of the Council on December 26 and staked his claim for proving the majority on the floor of the House.
