The insurgency was in wane in Tripura and altogether 72 persons were kidnapped and three others killed during the past three years in insurgency related incidents, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said in the Assembly here today.

Replying to a question of Ratan Lal Nath (Congress), Sarkar said the insurgency was on the wane as none was killed by the ultras last year and 10 persons were kidnapped during the time, but all of them returned.

In the last three years 92 insurgents of different underground groups have surrendered, he said.

However, the chief minister said, there was no room for complacency and security forces remained alert to thwart any attempt by insurgents of any such attack.
