“Law and order is one of the priority sectors of our government. The status of a state is judged based on its law and order,” he said.

CM Saha said, “Tripura Police is a pride for us. Last year, they celebrated 150 years of Tripura Police, one of the oldest forces in the country.”
He also expressed gratitude to banks that extended help to the families of martyred police personnel.
Highlighting the state’s achievements in maintaining law and order, Saha shared that crime in Tripura dropped by 19.3% in 2024 compared to the previous year, marking the lowest crime rate in a decade.
