Security at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala, located just 18 km from the Bangladesh border, has also been intensified. The airport, considered a hyper-sensitive installation, is under increased scrutiny. Airport Director Kailash Chander Meena urged passengers to arrive at least three hours before their departure due to enhanced screening protocols.
“These measures are vital for smooth check-in and boarding given the current nationwide alert,” Meena explained. While specific security details remain confidential, he assured that the airport continues to operate securely and according to threat assessment protocols.
With critical infrastructure and border areas under strict surveillance, Tripura remains on high alert as authorities continue to maintain a robust security posture across the state.
