Illegal infiltration into Tripura from Bangladesh has dropped significantly since June 2025, according to a statement issued by the Superintendent of Police (Police Control).

Tripura, which shares an 856-km international border with Bangladesh, has witnessed a notable reduction in cross-border movement following intensified surveillance and targeted operations against border brokers and their networks.

Sources said security forces have arrested 366 brokers and accomplices over the last three years under various legal provisions. Authorities have also registered multiple cases against individuals involved in forging documents and facilitating the movement of illegal immigrants.

“The combined efforts of the Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) have been crucial in dismantling the infiltration network. The BSF continues to maintain strict vigilance along the border, while personnel of the Tripura State Rifles (TSR) have been instructed to enhance coordination on the issue,” police officials stated.

To strengthen monitoring beyond border areas, plainclothes security personnel have been deployed at Agartala’s Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport, major railway stations, and key bus terminals.

The Special Branch has also been directed to share intelligence inputs related to infiltration without delay. Acting on such information, authorities have recently arrested several Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, along with Indian brokers allegedly involved in assisting them.

Officials emphasized that sustained cooperation among the state police, BSF, and intelligence agencies will be essential to maintaining the recent progress in curbing illegal infiltration.
