AGARTALA: The Tripura government has asked all eight superintendents of police (SPs) on Thursday to strengthen security in all sensitive locations following intelligence inputs on regrouping of banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants.
The report indicated that a huge cache of arms has reached the outfit through NSCN. State home department sources said an arms consignment with 27 heavy firearms from China reached NLFT recently.
"NLFT-Biswamohan faction has been reorganised in view of the coming assembly election slated for early next year. In the meantime, as many as 27 surrendered militants have reportedly gone back to the jungles," said a senior officer of Tripura Police.
According to latest statistics, NLFT has a strength of only 127 members and its operational capacity has been reduced substantially over the years because of a multi-pronged strategy of Tripura Police.
Officials said during interrogation of the two frontline NLFT members recently, police came to know about the development and accordingly BSF and other paramilitary forces, besides, district police, have been alerted.
