President Pranab Mukherjee is due to visit Manipur on April 23 for a state function commemorating the anniversary of the erstwhile Manipur kingdom's last battle for independence against the British on April 23, 1891. Security has been tightened along the border areas ahead of the visit. Tripura is under the threat of NLFT but in border areas Govt. is not taking any action with proper fencing. Locals residing in the border adjacent area have been spending their life being haunted by intrusion of various illegal items in the area. Bomb incidents also held in the state earlier, but govt. has not taken this issue seriously ever. It's to be mentioned here that border area's unwanted incidents has hit whole North East.
