GUWAHATI/ AGARTALA, Jan 26 (TIWN): Seven explosions took place on Thursday in three districts of Assam, with police sources blaming the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), which has created tension in Tripura too. Although no one was injured in any of the blasts which took place in four locations of Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Charaideo districts of eastern Assam almost simultaneously, but this incident created panic across Northeast. Such an incident was unexpected. "There is no causality or damage. The militants had planted the bombs in isolated places just to make their presence felt," a police officer said. Militant groups had called for a boycott of Republic Day celebrations in the northeastern region. On the other hand, two explosions took place in the Manipur capital on Thursday but did not disrupt the Republic Day celebrations, police said. The first blast took place in Singjamei area and the second at Mantri Pukhri area near a Border Security Force (BSF) camp where a march past was going on. Sixty-two contingents representing students, cultural groups, police and paramilitary forces marched on the occasion of the Republic Day.

There were no reports of injuries. Manipur Governor Najma Heptullah hoisted the flag at the Kangla Palace. 

Insurgent groups had called for a boycott of the Republic Day events.  However, since Tuesday, the Indo-Bangla borders across Tripura has been sealed to ensure a peaceful Republic Day. From Tripura no unwanted incident has been reported so far.

BSF Jawans are patrolling over Indo-Bangla borders for 24 X 7. Police also inspecting various places, shopping  complexes, markets in this connection. However, as Tripura’s maximum parts are encircled with Bangladesh border, so the state’s borders are known as very sensitive zones.

Due to lack of fencing the area mostly suffer from terror threats. In this condition, strict vigilance has been the key to peace in the state.

As per the report till now, no unwanted incident has yet been occurred across the state. 

 The tension prevails in Tripura as the state is suffering from continuous smuggling & militancy threats since few years.

Apart form that from Nigerian to Bangladeshi all are freely entering in State. Sonamura border is has been intentionally delayed in Tripura, although with the Modi govt’s attempts few developments has brought to the fencing work, yet more than 10 KM are unfenced there, whereas 16 KM is at South Tripura, 12 KM at North Tripura.

However, till now no unwanted incident has been reported from Tripura borders.
