Detention of illegal Bangladeshis has risen 36% in Tripura, says CM Manik Saha

Saha stated that the BJP-led state government had provided 17,554 government jobs till March. “In 2025 alone, 4,499 appointment letters have been handed over,” he said. “Unlike the previous governments, police have been given freedom and we have decided not to interfere in their work. Police are doing their job to maintain law and order in the state.”

Saha said Tripura has the third-lowest crime rate among the 28 states of the country. The overall crime rate declined 19.4 per cent in 2024 from 2023 and further by 10 per cent in the first four months of 2025. The road accident rate declined 13 per cent in 2024 from 2023. The state has launched a 24×7 helpline (1091) at every police station to ensure women’s safety, he added.

Later, Saha wrote on social media, “With a significant decline in the overall crime rate over the past few years, the government is now working towards the goal of building Nasha Mukt Tripura. Besides, the state government is providing jobs and developing infrastructure. In this direction, today handed over offers to 975 police constables–643 men & 332 women–in an event held at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan, Agartala today. Congratulated the recipients and extended best wishes to them for their new phase of life”.
