Agartala: Security forces in Tripura and Mizoram will share information and operate jointly to curb terrorism in the northeast, officials from the two states have decided.
Senior police officials of Tripura and Mizoram on Wednesday held a meeting at Kanchanpur in northern Tripura to finalise a joint strategy to deal with the militants.
“The meeting has decided that police forces of the two states should operate in coordination along the bordering areas of Mizoram and Tripura. They would also share intelligence inputs and other vital information,” a senior police official said.
Militants of the northeastern states use Tripura-Mizoram territories along the Bangladesh border for their trans-border movements and also to smuggle arms and ammunition across the border.
“A joint crackdown would make it easier to curb the activities of the underground rebels,” the official added. Police forces of two states would also share information and work in coordination to deal with inter-state criminals, car lifters and crimes related to fake Indian currency and human trafficking.
