Agartala, Oct 31: A cyber crime police station will soon be established in Tripura to effectively address cyber-related cases, announced DGP Amitabh Ranjan.
In a press briefing, Ranjan noted that insurgency is now a closed chapter for the state following the mass surrender of NLFT and ATTF militants. “The Chief Minister wants the state police to focus on community policing and law and order monitoring. We also need to effectively tackle urban crime and urban extremism,” he stated.
To equip the Tripura State Rifles (TSR), which previously focused on insurgency, the state government plans to provide specialist training to address emerging challenges.
“We will push for specialized training for TSR personnel to enhance their skills. TSR jawans will receive training alongside forces such as the NSG and CISF,” he explained.

Additionally, the DGP mentioned that six companies of TSR will be deployed to Maharashtra and Jharkhand for election-related duties.
“The Centre requested 15 companies for election duties in these states, but we have agreed to send six companies due to the current situation in Tripura. The TSR companies will leave the state after Diwali,” he confirmed.
