Agartala | February 20, 2026
The International Fair Ground in Hapania has been transformed into a high-security zone as Agartala gears up for the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Minister is scheduled to arrive today to inaugurate the Joint Regional Rajbhasha Sammelan (Official Language Conference) for the Northern and Eastern regions.
The state administration, led by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, has undertaken massive arrangements to ensure the success of this high-profile event, which is expected to draw over 3,000 delegates from across the country.
High-Level Security and Venue Readiness
An Advanced Security Liaison (ASL) meeting was recently conducted at the Hapania Fair Ground, involving senior officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), West District Magistrate Dr. Vishal Kumar, and Superintendent of Police Namit Pathak.
- Security Blanket: Key locations and routes have been heavily barricaded, with increased police presence.
- Infrastructure: The International Indoor Exhibition Centre has been specially decorated to showcase Tripura’s cultural heritage and the “Vocal for Local” vision.
- Souvenirs: In a unique gesture, artisans from the Bamboo & Cane Development Institute (BCDI) have crafted special mementos featuring Tripura’s iconic heritage sites—Matabari, Chabimura, and Unakoti—to be presented to the Home Minister.
Political and Strategic Significance
Beyond the official conference, Amit Shah’s visit carries immense political weight. He is expected to hold crucial meetings with Chief Minister Manik Saha, senior BJP leaders, and alliance partners from IPFT and TIPRA Motha. Discussions are likely to revolve around the strategy for the upcoming TTAADC (Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council) elections.
The visit is being seen as a major administrative exercise, highlighting Tripura’s capability to host large-scale national summits while reinforcing the central government’s focus on regional developmental goals.
