Ambassa (Tripura): On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah opened and started several development projects in Tripura worth ₹668 crore (about 86 million dollars). One key project is the Central Detective Training Institute (CDTI), which aims to make the northeastern region safer.
During a gathering in Ambassa, Shah explained that the Indian government helped bring peace to Tripura by signing agreements with rebel groups and the Bru Reang community. Now, he says, Tripura is growing and moving towards development.
At a meeting in Shillong, a recommendation was made to create a research center to study the unique security issues in the northeastern region. The government has set aside a 9.57-acre land in Jirania, West Tripura, for the new institute. They have also approved ₹120 crore for building the necessary infrastructure. A digital survey of the land has already been completed.
The CDTI in Tripura will train over 6,000 police personnel every year, including those from northeastern states and the central armed police forces (CAPFs). The institute will feature modern facilities, such as advanced classrooms, simulation labs, and practical training spaces to equip police with the latest skills.
It will provide high-level training and research on important issues like internal security, border management, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and arms smuggling. The CDTI in Agartala will not only improve police training but also encourage international cooperation to tackle cross-border security problems.
