The Tripura High Court has instructed the state government to provide a comprehensive report on measures taken to prevent infiltration from Bangladesh within a three-month timeframe. The directive was issued by a division bench led by Chief Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao during a hearing on April 2, 2026. The petition was filed by three individuals, including Ranjit Debbarma, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Tipra Motha Party, who claimed that the state has not effectively implemented the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) guidelines aimed at curbing infiltration. The northeastern state shares an 856 km international border with Bangladesh, with approximately 85% of the border fenced. Debbarma emphasized the need for immediate action to enhance the state's internal security, criticizing the government's lack of response to previous concerns raised regarding illegal immigration. The court's ruling now places the responsibility on the state to demonstrate compliance with national directives.
