FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Border Security Tightened in Tripura Following Reports of Armed Group Activity
Guwahati, India – January 3, 2026 – Security has been heightened along certain stretches of the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura, India, following intelligence reports indicating the potential movement of members of two Bangladesh-based armed groups, the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS) and the United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF).
The Border Security Force (BSF) alerted authorities to the possibility of members from these groups, along with other Bangladeshi nationals and Rohingyas, attempting to cross the border into Tripura. Concerns exist that these individuals may intend to engage in criminal activity, smuggling, and disruptions to public order.
In response, Rinku Lather, District Magistrate of Gomati district, has issued a notification imposing restrictions under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, aimed at maintaining peace and security. A night curfew will be in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. until February 28 in specific border areas within the Karbook Sub-Division of Gomati district. Residents living within 300 meters of the international border are exempt from these restrictions.
Tripura shares an 856-kilometer border with Bangladesh. The Gomati and Dhalai districts of Tripura are adjacent to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region of Bangladesh, an area known for unrest.
This is not the first time members of PCJSS have crossed to India for medical treatment. In June 2024, authorities detained 13 PCJSS members after they crossed the border seeking treatment for injuries sustained in clashes with a rival group in the CHT.
Authorities have stated that the increased security measures are a precautionary step to prevent any potential threats to public safety and security.
