The Tripura state cabinet has approved the establishment of four additional Government Railway Police stations to boost security on railway premises.
The Tripura cabinet, in a recent meeting, gave its approval for the creation of four new Government Railway Police (GRP) stations across the state. The decision is aimed at strengthening law‑and‑order measures on railway properties and improving passenger safety.
Under the plan, each new station will operate under the existing GRP framework, providing dedicated policing resources at key railway hubs. Officials said the additional stations will enable quicker response times to incidents and deter criminal activity on trains and at stations.
The move reflects the state government's broader focus on enhancing transport security and aligns with national efforts to modernise railway policing. Implementation details, including the exact locations and timelines, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
