AGARTALA, January 16, 2025: Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha unveiled plans to introduce new technologies at the district and state levels to strengthen the police force with a larger aim to improve law and order in the state. He made these remarks at the annual Police Week Parade-2025 at the Manoranjan Debbarma Smriti Police Parade Ground in Agartala Thursday.
The Chief Minister commended the state police for their dedication and integrity stressing the importance of working with the trust of the people. He also expressed gratitude to banks for providing assistance to the families of martyred police personnel.
The Chief Minister emphasised that maintaining law and order is a top priority for the government and as a result, Tripura has recorded its lowest crime rate in 2024. Property-related crimes decreased by 45%, physical assault crimes dropped by 38%, riot-related cases declined by 75%, and crimes against women decreased by 55%, he gave a graph.
The police have played a crucial role in achieving these statistics with a significant number of NLFT cadres surrendering, making Tripura insurgency-free. Dr Saha also stated that the police are actively combating the drug menace with 1,666 NDPS-related cases registered and 3,079 arrests made in the past three years.
In 2024 alone, drugs worth ₹867 crore were seized, a 106% increase from 2023. The police have organised over 25,000 social work initiatives in the last three years benefiting more than 5 lakh people, the Chief Minister informed.
Looking ahead, the government plans to introduce new technologies at the district and state levels, including AI-based control rooms, drone deployment, smart CCTVs and modernised technology, Dr Saha informed.
He added that the government is working on modernizing the East and West Agartala Police Stations.
