Agartala, 9th November 2026 : Security operations by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Tripura Police have intensified across the Sonamura subdivision, with joint patrols and searches being conducted almost daily, particularly in the Boxanagar market area.
The latest joint operation was carried out at Boxanagar market, where BSF personnel and police officers inspected several shops and checked documents related to goods stored and sold by traders. During the operation, security personnel questioned shopkeepers about the origin of various items and sought bills and other supporting documents to verify their purchases.
However, no illegal items were recovered during Monday’s operation, which was still underway at the time of reporting.
Residents said such frequent joint operations were not common earlier but have become a regular feature in the subdivision in recent days. The intensified security activity comes in the wake of the recent attack on BSF personnel at Ashabari, which raised concerns over border security and law and order in the area.
Earlier, the BSF had conducted an operation at Rahimpur market, during which a substantial quantity of goods was seized.
The latest searches at Boxanagar are part of the heightened vigilance being maintained by security forces across the subdivision. Shopkeepers were asked to produce relevant purchase documents during the inspection.
