Tripura's law and order situation has seen significant improvement over the past year, Chief Minister Manik Saha announced on Thursday. The police have successfully carried out anti-drug campaigns, seizing various narcotics and illegal substances.

The government has launched the Tripura Industrial Promotion Incentive Scheme-2024, targeting industries like gas, bamboo, tourism, and healthcare. A memorandum of understanding with Tata Consultancy Services has been signed to modernize industrial training centers and enhance youth skills.
