These arrests were made in various locations across the state, such as Lankamura, Nischintapur, Harinakhola, Agartala railway station, Churaibari railway station, Dharmanagar, Sabroom, and L K Para in Gomati district.

The BSF has enhanced its vigilance along the India-Bangladesh international border in Tripura to combat illegal activities, including human trafficking and narcotics smuggling.

he force conducted nine village coordination meetings to address local concerns and seized drugs and contraband items in different parts of the state.

In the first week of March, the BSF successfully thwarted several smuggling attempts, seizing a large quantity of narcotics and other contraband worth ₹2.88 crore, including 280.67 kg of ganja.
