The opposition CPI(M) and Congress urged the 16th Finance Commission to ensure direct funding for the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).Speaking to reporters after attending an all-party meeting hosted by the Finance Commission in Agartala, senior CPI(M) leader Bhanu Lal Saha on Thursday said his party has “categorically demanded” direct funding to the TTAADC as it has its own expenditure and development process. Saha, the former finance minister of Tripura, said the CPI(M) also demanded the revival of the Planning Commission.
