Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Tripura on June 4 and 5 to review border security arrangements and assess infrastructure projects along the India-Bangladesh frontier.
According to officials, Shah will arrive in Agartala on Thursday evening after chairing the 73rd Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council in Shillong.
During the visit, the Home Minister will chair a high-level meeting with officials of the Border Security Force and other security agencies to evaluate the security situation and review border management measures along the India-Bangladesh border.
The discussions are expected to focus on challenges such as illegal migration, cross-border smuggling, illicit trade and other trans-border crimes. Tripura shares an 856-km international border with Bangladesh and is surrounded on three sides by the neighbouring country, making border management a key security concern.
