Series of steps taken to prevent border crime: Tripura CM

Agartala, Apr 1 (UNI) Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Tuesday said that the state government has taken a series of steps including conducting joint patrolling in unfenced areas along the international border, conducting raids, and forming district-level Anti-Human Trafficking units to prevent illegal infiltration.
“Currently, cases are being registered against illegal infiltrators and border brokers under two laws – the Indian Passports Act and the Foreigners Act. It is to be noted that under these two laws, a total of 112 cases were registered in the year 2022, 303 cases in 2023, and 327 cases in 2024," he said.
Dr Saha stated that in 2024, strict action has been taken against illegal infiltrators and border miscreants by applying Section 370 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) and Section 143(2) of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita), 2023 Act.
Moreover, a series of steps have been taken by the police administration to curb human trafficking. Joint patrolling is carried out regularly in unfenced areas along the international border of the state in collaboration with the BSF.
Based on information received from confidential sources, raids are conducted against brokers involved in human trafficking from Bangladesh to India, and action is taken against them under specific sections of the law.
