Tensions Rise Over Explosive Incident at Tripura-Mizoram Border

A low-intensity explosion occurred at an under-construction tourist facility in North Tripura, sparking concerns and security enhancements along the Tripura-Mizoram border. Officials are investigating the incident amid tensions between the states over territory claims and construction objections from Mizoram.

Security has been intensified along the Tripura-Mizoram border following a blast at a tourist project site, officials reported on Thursday.

The low-intensity explosion happened early Wednesday at Betlingchhip, North Tripura's tallest peak, where the state is developing a tourist facility that Mizoram opposes.

Mizoram's Inspector General confirmed the blast, while Tripura's SP is investigating. Enhanced security continues amid rising tensions over territorial claims.
