Two get citizenship under CAA in Tripura; more applications under review 

Administrative officials detailed that the entire process is conducted through a dedicated online portal, with applications examined by a State-level committee

Tripura has received between 20 and 25 applications under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), with two applicants already receiving Indian citizenship certificates. 

The remaining applications are under verification and scrutiny.  

“Verification and scrutiny are carried out through the designated online platform. Applications are processed as per the recommendations of the competent authorities. There is no offline procedure,” a senior official said.  

Most applications are under examination, with progress monitored through an online dashboard. 

Recently, six applications reached the final stage of scrutiny. 

Of these, three were returned for re-examination after discrepancies were detected, while three were forwarded to the State-level committee. 

Two applicants linked to these cases were subsequently granted citizenship certificates.

Officials in North Tripura confirmed that the recently processed applications were submitted by residents of the district. 

One of the successful applicants, Jhalak Das Chowdhury, met the District Magistrate after receiving his citizenship certificate to complete Aadhaar-related formalities. 

Another female applicant from the district has also been granted citizenship.  

The CAA provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for eligible members of specified communities who have migrated from certain neighbouring countries under defined circumstances. 

The Act had sparked widespread protests across Tripura and other North Eastern States. Several petitions challenging its Constitutional validity are pending before the Supreme Court. 

Meanwhile, a road and rail blockade called by a group of former militants and their supporters was withdrawn on Friday after the State Government gave assurance on their demands. 

The breakthrough came after Tripura Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma visited Sadhupada in the Baramura area and held a crucial meeting with the protesters in the presence of IGP Krishnendu Chakraborty.
