Security tightened in Tripura

Agartala, January 12, 2007: Security along the Tripura-Assam border has been tightened in the wake of the recent violence in Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and adjacent areas of Upper Assam.

State police and central paramilitary forces were asked to intensify vigil along the inter-state border following ULFA’s recent killings, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar told reporters in Agartala today.

Terming the condition in Assam as “alarming”, Sarkar said he had a telephonic conversation with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi yesterday and offered all possible help.

He also urged the Centre to help the Assam government to put an end to the recent killings that have so far claimed 69 lives.
