Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Sunday said  that there is no issue with the present law and order situation in the state and the police are taking prompt  action against those who are violating laws and involved with any criminal activities.

Dr Saha speaking with media persons on Sunday during BJP’s membership drive at his assembly constituency, 8-Bardowali  said providing security to the people is at the top of the government's agenda. The law and order situation in the state is normal. There are reports of several incidents but the police are taking action as per the law, said Dr Saha.

His comment comes in the backdrop of a tribal man's death due to alleged torture by policemen inside Manu Bazar police station, murder of a shopkeeper in Agartala and clashes between two communities in Kadamtala and Panisgar areas in North Tripura district.

Dr Saha added that the state  government will make efforts if there is any lapse on the part of the intelligence wing of the police.

He also said the state has already geared up to introduce super speciality treatment facilities at GBP hospital to reduce referral cases in the state.

A kidney transplant procedure has been successfully performed at GBP hospital and another case will be done shortly and the government wants to introduce more speciality departments so that people don't need to go outside for treatment, Dr Saha added.
