Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha announced that Tripura has logged 446 illegal infiltration cases in the last three years, highlighting a growing security concern.
Tripura's police records show that 446 cases of illegal infiltration have been registered over the past three years, according to data presented by the state government. The tally reflects incidents where individuals entered the state without proper documentation, breaching border controls.
Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha highlighted the figure during a press briefing, describing it as a sign of increasing pressure on the state's security apparatus. He urged law‑enforcement agencies to remain vigilant and to strengthen surveillance along the state's borders.
The chief minister also said the government is reviewing existing protocols and will coordinate with central authorities to curb further unauthorized entries. While no specific details on individual cases were disclosed, the CM emphasized that each incident is being investigated thoroughly.
Officials indicated that the majority of the cases involve cross‑border movement from neighboring regions, a long‑standing challenge for the northeastern states. The administration plans to augment manpower at checkpoint stations and deploy additional technology to improve detection capabilities.
