Security was beefed-up across Tripura and its 856 km long border with Bangladesh in view of the 68th Republic Day celebration tomorrow.
"Security measures were tightened across the state and BSF was alerted. Additional security forces were deployed before vital installations like Raj Bhavan, Civil Secretariat, and Assembly House," SP (security) Kamal Chakraborty said.
Patrolling was intensified in remote and hilly areas by deploying Tripura State Rifles (TSR) and other central paramilitary forces, Chakraborty told reporters.
BSF, TSR and Assam Rifles (AR) were put on maximum alert by Tripura Police headquarters and border patrolling has been increased.
Chakraborty said police stations were directed to conduct raids in areas that were once militant infested.
The Union Home Ministry has also sent a note to the state Home Department to keep January 26 incident free.
