AGARTALA: Several Tripura unit Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders were held in Unakoti district's Gournagar following their mass gathering to observe Martyrs' Day yesterday for violating COVID-19 norms, according to police.

TMC president of Tripura unit Asish Lal Sinha is also arrested among the other leaders.

As reported, as many as 21 people were arrested for violating COVID-19 norms to pay homage to the Youth Congress activists allegedly killed in police firing on July 22, 1993, in Kolkata while taking part in a rally led by then Congress leader Mamata Banerjee.
