Agartala, Oct 21: Tripura Director General of Police (DGP) Amitabh Ranjan on Monday rejected the claims of opposition parties. The opposition parties voiced their concern about the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

Speaking to reporters, DGP Amitabh Ranjan said the crime rate in the state has actually been at its lowest in the past decade, including a sharp decline in incidents as recently as September.

“I would strongly say that some vested groups are trying to spread rumours about a deteriorating law and order situation, but the truth is that, according to data from the past ten years, crime in all major categories is at its lowest this year,” Ranjan stated.

Despite some incidents of communal violence earlier this year, Ranjan pointed out that the Durga Puja festival was celebrated in those areas also peacefully alongwith other areas across Tripura, and with participation from all communities.

The DGP said that Tripura’s chief minister Manik Saha had given the police complete authority to act decisively against lawbreakers, ensuring that law and order would be upheld without interference.

Alongside DGP Ranjan, DGP (Intelligence) Anurag Dhankar was present during response to queries of reporters, reiterating the commitment of the state police to ensure public safety.
