AGARTALA:

Tripura Police has beefed up security across the state as well as along the international boundary ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state on January 4.

In this regard, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, chief secretary Kumar Alok, and Director General of Police VS Yadav, inspected the preparedness to the venue of PM Modi’s programme late night on December 2.

"We have arranged elaborate security ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on January 04. We will deploy police in uniform along with plain clothes," Yadav told the press.

When asked about the figures of security deployment, the DGP, however, informed that the number cannot be shared at this point but massive security arrangements are put in place.

"Tripura police is in close touch with RAW, SIB, BSF, and other security agencies. As you know Tripura is surrounded by Bangladesh, we have also tightened the security and alerted all our Police stations, Out Posts and Tripura State Rifle," he said.

Notably, PM Modi will inaugurate the New Integrated Terminal Building of Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport in Agartala on January 4. He will also launch two projects of the Tripura government, including Mukhyamantri Tripura Gram Samriddhi Yojana, and Project Mission 100 of Vidyajyoti Schools.
