AGARTALA: Tensions escalated in the capital city today as a heavy contingent of Tripura Police and paramilitary personnel was deployed around the Pradesh Congress Bhavan in Agartala, centering a major rally organized by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
To prevent any untoward clashes or confrontations between political cadres of the rival parties, law enforcement agencies erected barricades and placed strict security cordons along the perimeter of the Congress office and adjacent thoroughfares.
Strict Vigilance to Maintain Order
According to administrative and police officials present at the spot, the proactive security grid was established to ensure law and order, preventing any potential provocative standoffs as the BJP rally passed through nearby routes. Senior police officers, including West Tripura District personnel, personally monitored the security arrangements to safeguard public property and maintain peace.
Congress leaders and workers present inside Congress Bhavan monitored the situation closely, with party representatives reiterating the need for the police administration to act impartially and guarantee complete safety to opposition offices and activists. Traffic movement along the stretch was briefly diverted and regulated by traffic police to avoid congestion during the political procession.
