Agartala, June 3: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Tripura on June 4-5 to review the preparedness of the Border Security Force (BSF) and other agencies in addressing challenges along the India-Bangladesh border.

During his visit, Shah will chair a high-level meeting with officials of the BSF and other security agencies to assess the security situation and review issues related to border management along the India-Bangladesh frontier.

“After chairing the 73rd Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council (NEC) in Shillong on June 4, the Home Minister will arrive in Agartala on Thursday evening,” an official said.

The Home Minister is also scheduled to lay the foundation stone and participate in the Bhumi Pujan ceremony for a hotel project to be developed jointly by the Tripura government and a private organisation.

During his visit to the Bangladesh border areas, Shah will lay the foundation stones for several infrastructure projects, take part in a tree plantation drive, and attend a Sainik Sammelan.

Tripura shares an 856-km international border with Bangladesh and is surrounded on three sides by the neighbouring country, making the frontier highly sensitive to issues such as illegal migration, cross-border smuggling, illicit trade, and other trans-border crimes.
