Security arrangements have been strengthened across Tripura, particularly along the 856 km long border with Bangladesh, to prevent any untoward incident during the 75th Independence-day celebrations, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
Inspector-General of Police Arindam Nath said police and BSF were keeping a close vigil along the border after two BSF personnel were gunned down by the banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) in Dhalai district on July 26. Nearly 2,000 police personnel will be deployed at the venue and Quick Response Team (QRP), Heavy Radio Flying Squad vans, and members of combat forces of Kolkata Police will be present, he said. Para-military forces along with sniffer dogs are conducting search operations in the interior parts of the States and are checking all vehicles and passengers at different places including the national highway.
Security at the national highway, bus terminus, crowded market places and at the airport has been increased. Different drop gates have been established at different points of entry to the capital Agartala.
