A TIPRA Motha party office in Jiraniakhola was completely destroyed in a massive fire late last night.
Local leaders have alleged that the blaze was the result of deliberate sabotage.
According to witnesses, the structure suddenly caught fire in the darkness, and the flames spread so rapidly that the office was reduced to ashes within minutes.
In the afternoon, local MLA Swapna Debbarma visited the site to assess the situation.
She was accompanied by several TIPRA Motha leaders and party workers. During her visit, the MLA reviewed the extent of the damage and spoke with party members affected by the incident.
The fire comes at a time of heightened political tension between the ruling party and its ally, TIPRA Motha.
In recent weeks, several areas have witnessed political confrontations, with both sides accusing each other of attacks and retaliatory actions. Political observers suggest that last night’s incident may also be connected to the ongoing friction between the groups.
