Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha and Union Home Minister Amit Shah held high-level security meetings to address security concerns along the India-Bangladesh border. The focus was on enhancing surveillance and security measures. The meetings also assessed the current border and airport security in light of recent cross-border tensions.

Tripura's Chief Minister, Manik Saha, conducted a high-level security meeting at his residence on Friday to tackle security issues along the India-Bangladesh border. The hour-long meeting concentrated on escalating surveillance and security along the international boundary, with participants including senior officials from the Border Security Force (BSF), Assam Rifles, and various intelligence agencies.

Sources suggest plans to implement enhanced monitoring systems and joint operations in sensitive areas. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a concurrent meeting in the national capital reviewing border security and airport arrangements, demonstrating a nationwide approach to security amid increased tensions.

The Home Ministry's assembly included key figures such as Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka, and DGs of BSF, CISF, and BCAS. This meeting aimed to evaluate and fortify the country's border and civil aviation security infrastructure, particularly following a significant missile and drone attack by Pakistan, launching from regions targeting Jammu and Rajasthan.
