The outlawed insurgent outfits in Tripura were trying to rebuild their base ahead of the state assembly elections due in February next, state Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjay Sinha said today.
"We have information that the ultras are preparing to launch subversive activities ahead of the assembly elections but the state police was ready to face any kind of eventuality," Sinha said while unveiling a memorial of policemen killed by separatists in 2002 at Hirapur, about 30 km from here.
20 Tripura State Rifles (TSR) jawans were killed by banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants on Aug 20, 2002.
The ultras should not consider that the state government is weak, he said.
The DGP also urged the ultras to shun the path of violence and join the mainstream and involve themselves with the developmental works in the state rather than trying to motivate the innocent tribal youths to join their outfits for illegal works.
