Agartala: Security has been upped in Tripura ahead of Independence Day celebrations, a senior police officer said.
Security arrangements have been put in place on Assam Rifles Ground, where Chief Minister Manik Saha will hoist the national flag to mark the 77th Independence Day in the presence of ministers, legislators and top officials.
Officials at all police stations have been asked to remain alert, Assistant Inspector General (Law and Order) Jyotishman Das Chowdhury told PTI.
The BSF has also stepped up vigil along the 856-km international border with Bangladesh to thwart any cross-border intrusion bid, he said.
