At  Hapania near Agartala, the rally of workers merged with  hundreds  of men and women in the precincts of the local office  of Jute  Mill Workers Association. Among the leaders who  addressed them  were women's leader Chapala Biswas, AITUC  state  secretary Dhamamani  Singh,  Agricultural  Workers Union  state  president Saroj  Chanda, and state Kisan Sabha assistant secretary  Narayan Deb.

In  West  Tripura, where the people had been  too  terrorised  by extremists  in the last one year to participate in any  march  or rally,  large numbers boldly took to the streets on May 7.  They held  a rally at the block development compound and took  a  mass deputation to the BDO with a 12 point charter of demands  including  some local demands. The rallyists were largely workers  and agricultural labourers, students and youth, both tribal and  non-tribal.

The  mass  deputation  at Jirania, West Tripura,  was  joined  by hundreds of people, more than half of whom were women. Addressing the  rallyists CITU state secretary and CPI(M) state  secretariat member, Manik Dey, resented the lack of any employment assurance for agricultural labourers who number half of the total  jobless persons  countrywide. It is a shame that even after 52 years  of independence the country has no central legislation for  agricultural labourers, he said. In his speech, industries minister and state Kisan Sabha leader, Pabitra Kar, pointed out that the Left Front has long been running an agitation to press for not only  a central  legislation  for agricultural labourers  but  also  some other  vital  demands like provision of rice at a  half  the  PDS price  for people below poverty line, and adequate supply  of  14 essential  commodities at uniform subsidised  rates  countrywide through  the public distribution system. Adding that it  is  the Left  Front governments that have substantially raised the  wages of  agricultural labourers many times since 1978, he urged for  a massive  mandate to the Left Front in the upcoming panchayat  and parliamentary polls in Tripura so that the mass movements  could acquire greater strength.
The  Agricultural Workers Union's state secretary  addressed  the rally held at Bishalgarh in West Tripura. The rallies at Ambassa and  some  other places in Dhalai district were joined  by  large numbers of people despite strong downpour and deluge since  morning over most of the district. Intellectuals also joined in the agitation for agricultural labourers, along with workers,  peasants, students, youth, women and employees.

At the rally in West Tripura, CPI(M) MP Samar Choudhury expressed hope  that the working class would spearhead a radical change  in the  country on the basis of firm fraternity between workers  and peasants  to be forged on the demands of  agricultural  labourers and other similar issues.

At  Killa  in South Tripura, more than two thousand  tribals  and non-tribals  took out a procession with a commitment to  consolidate  both ethnic harmony and class unity to accelerate the  fulfilment  of their demands. The rally was addressed by South  District Council chairman Ratan Bhowmik, and Naresh Jamatia, central committee  secretary of DYFI-affiliated Tribal Youth  Federation, among others.
