Agartala, March 13: Tripura’s Governor, Indrasena Reddy Nallu, announced on Friday that the state has witnessed significant improvements in law and order over the past year. From April to November 2025, the crime rate dropped by 8.33% compared to the same period last year.

Property-related crimes fell by 18.51%, crimes against women decreased by 11%, rape cases dropped by 33%, homicides saw a 26% reduction, and assault incidents declined by 10%. These improvements are attributed to enhanced policing and strict enforcement measures.

Between April and November 2025, 350 cases were registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, leading to actions against 515 accused individuals. During this period, security forces seized 22,606.50 kilograms of cannabis, 211,141 bottles of cough syrup, 606,379 methamphetamine tablets, and 1,937.88 grams of heroin/brown sugar.
Authorities also destroyed over 2.1 million cannabis plants, marking a 74.45% increase from the previous year.
The Governor mentioned that the implementation of new criminal laws has led to a rapid increase in conviction rates. This rate rose from 29.47% in January–June 2024 to 60.50% in July–December 2024, reaching 68.25% between January and November 2025.
Discussing the rehabilitation of displaced tribal communities, he reported the successful resettlement of 6,935 Reang tribal families (totaling 37,584 individuals) displaced from Mizoram.
