Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Saturday said that maintaining humanity, sensitivity, and professionalism is one of the main responsibilities of the police.

“If you are dedicated to your duty, you can earn both respect and recognition in society. The government is committed to making the Tripura Police a modern, technology-based, and people-oriented force. The state government is fully committed to maintaining law and order,” he said.

Dr Saha said this while participating in the passing-out parade of the 92nd batch of newly appointed Police Constables (Male) at the headquarters of the TSR 2nd Battalion in RK Nagar on Saturday.

Speaking at the event, Dr Saha, who is also the Home Minister, said that today 469 Police Constables and one TSR Rifleman (GD) are passing out after completing their training.

“Today is a day of pride and joy for the entire police force of Tripura. We all know that the history of Tripura Police is very old. Starting from the princely era, it has taken an organized form in the modern era. The kings of Tripura introduced their own administrative and police system from the 13th century, which later evolved into the present structure in 1965. In January 2024, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Tripura Police at Pragya Bhavan. Tripura Police was awarded the President's Colours for its outstanding success in combating extremism and terrorism in the state for three decades. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to each of those who are joining the police force today after successfully completing their training,” he said.

In his address, the Chief Minister said that the common people have a lot of hope and aspirations from police personnel.

“The people of Tripura are looking to you for security. The Tripura government is providing jobs in various fields through a transparent process. On May 13 last year, 975 young men and women were handed appointment letters for the post of Constable in Tripura Police. Today, after a long year of rigorous training and discipline, they participated in the passing-out parade. I would like to say to the new police personnel that the uniform you are wearing today is a symbol of courage, responsibility, discipline, honesty, and people's trust. On May 21, 2026, I was present at the passing-out parade of the 51st and 52nd batches of male and female constables at the KTDS Police Training Academy. Out of the 476 constables who participated in the parade, 318 were women. The increasing participation of women in the police force reflects the government's sincere commitment to their empowerment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given special importance to women's empowerment. Our government is also working in that direction,” said Dr Saha.

The Chief Minister also said that, as a police officer, one becomes the first point of hope for people in distress.

“Therefore, along with enforcing the law, you must remember that maintaining humanity, sensitivity, and professionalism is one of your main responsibilities. I am happy to know that, along with physical training and indoor classes, important subjects such as traffic management, law and order maintenance, jungle warfare field craft, disaster management, and cyber training are being conducted here. This training will be very helpful in performing your duties in the future. The government is working with great importance to ensure the safety and security of women and children. The process of recruiting 218 Sub-Inspectors, approved by the state government, will begin very soon. Along with this, approval has already been given to recruit an additional 916 constables,” he said.

Chief Secretary Jitendra Kumar Sinha, Director General of Police Anurag, Home Secretary Abhishek Singh, and other senior officials were present at the event.
