The Tripura High Court has asked the State government to submit a detailed report on the steps taken to prevent infiltration from across the border within the next three months, an advocate said on Friday (April 3, 2026).
A division bench headed by Chief Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao issued the directive on Thursday (April 2, 2026) while hearing a petition filed by three persons, including Tipra Motha Party MLA Ranjit Debbarma.
The petitioners alleged that despite the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issuing guidelines for preventing infiltration, the State government has failed to take effective measures to address the problem.
"The division bench asked the State government to submit a detailed report within the next three months on the steps taken to detect, detain and deport infiltrators, as per the MHA guidelines," Anthony Debbarma, who represented the petitioners, said.
The northeastern State shares 856 km of international border with Bangladesh, with around 85% of the boundary having been fenced.
