Highlighting the need for modern and citizen-focused policing, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha urged police personnel to strengthen efforts against cybercrime and crimes targeting women and children.
The Chief Minister made the remarks while addressing the passing-out parade of the 91st and 92nd batches of recruit constables at the KTD Singh Police Training Academy in Narsingarh near Agartala.
Saha said police personnel must perform their duties with honesty, dedication, sincerity and a humanitarian approach. He stressed that modern policing requires strong technological support and asked officers to prepare for emerging cyber threats.
“During the 11-month training, these 476 newly-recruited constables, including 318 women, were imparted training on traffic management, crowd control, disaster management, handling mob violence, tackling illegal activities and maintaining law and order,” the Chief Minister said.
He added that the state government is committed to modernising the police force and providing all required support to strengthen policing infrastructure and operational capabilities.
Saha also stated that ensuring the safety of women and children would remain a top priority for both the government and the police administration.
The Chief Minister announced that recruitment for 218 Sub-Inspectors in Tripura Police will begin soon. He further said the government has already approved recruitment for an additional 916 police constables, and the process will start shortly.
Referring to earlier recruitment drives, Saha noted that appointment letters for 975 constable posts were distributed on May 13 last year, out of which 476 recruits have now completed their training successfully.
He also highlighted the growing participation of women in the Tripura Police force, calling it a sign of increasing empowerment and representation in law enforcement.
The Chief Minister urged newly inducted constables to maintain a compassionate approach while enforcing the law. He also stressed the importance of understanding the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which came into effect on July 1, 2024, replacing colonial-era criminal laws.
Anurag said recruits received training in crowd control, disaster response, investigation techniques, weapon handling and law and order management.
