Ranjan emphasized that the police force, following directives from Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, is intensifying its efforts to ensure public safety during the festive season. Senior police officers have been actively inspecting police stations, Tripura State Rifles (TSR) camps, and other security outposts, focusing on identifying any potential gaps in security and improving infrastructure.
“We have initiated comprehensive reviews of our policing systems, and welfare activities are also being addressed to boost the efficiency of our force,” Ranjan said.
