There seems to be no end to political violence in the election-bound Tripura with supporters of the BJP and CPI-M clashing in the Bishalgarh area today.

In fact, the national highway next to the Bishalghar hospital turned into a virtual battlefield as supporters of the ruling BJP and opposition CPIM clashed in the area.
The incident took place when CPM supporters were returning after submitting a memorandum to the sub-divisional magistrate on various issues including price hikes of essential commodities, deteriorating law and order, and unemployment among others.

Meantime the CPIM supporters, who were large in numbers, retaliated and confronted the attackers.
Later police personnel somehow managed to control the situation.

1 BJP and three CPIM supporters sustained injuries in the incident and were rushed to the hospital.
