Agartala, October 21 (FD) Even as the opposition political parties in Tripura are crying hoarse that the law and order situation has collapsed Director General of Police, Amitabh Ranjan announces Tripura has achieved the lowest crime records in the last decade.

He further asserts that the state police force in the state is functioning without interference or influence and maintaining proper law and order.

Ranjan’s revelations came while observing Police Commemoration Day at the Manoranjan Debbarma Smriti Stadium at A.D. Nagar here.

He spoke so confidently, when a tribal youth was allegedly murdered inside the police custody and a shop owner was stabbed inside his shop, who later succumbed to his injuries and communal tensions in North Tripura district.

However, the DGP pointed out that the state’s biggest festival, Durga puja was held peacefully.

He also revealed that many police and paramilitary personnel had sacrificed their lives in the state to reduce communal conflict in the state and more than  35,000 police personnel laid down their lives to protect the country. FD JK
