Security beefed up ahead of winter session of Tripura Assembly

Taking a cue from the incident of a security breach in the Parliament in the last session, Tripura police have taken elaborate security measures for the winter session of the state assembly to be held between January 5^th to 11 next.

After several rounds of reviews, the assembly secretariat in a notification informed that no persons or any vehicle, except man-driven rickshaws will be allowed to enter the assembly premises without a valid permit.

MLAs, media personnel and staff of the assembly are required to show their identity cards or valid permits at the entry gate to the security guards on duty. They have been restricted from entering the assembly with co-passengers in their vehicles, except for the personal security guards of the MLAs.

“No visitors, government employees, media personnel and staff of the assembly will be allowed to enter the assembly hall with bags and other listed items, which may cause the apprehension of a security breach inside the house,” the assembly secretariat stated.
