Tripura has witnessed a significant drop in its crime rate in 2024, the lowest in a decade, according to the state’s Director General of Police (DGP), Amitabh Ranjan.
During an inspection of police stations and outposts in Khowai District, DGP Ranjan highlighted the proactive measures being taken by the state police to maintain law and order, especially with Durga Puja celebrations approaching.
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. He noted that Tripura Police has shown significant improvement in curbing crime, and the last few elections passed without any major incidents.
To ensure a peaceful Durga Puja, Ranjan revealed that large-scale deployment of forces is in the pipeline, with orders expected soon. The police are also cracking down on the forceful collection of Puja donations, with strict directives in place to prevent such practices. Ongoing review meetings are being held to ensure all security measures are in place, further solidifying Tripura’s position as one of the safest states in recent years.
