Agartala, 22nd August 2025: Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha today said that due to the continuous efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s military sector is now self-reliant and enriched with state-of-the-art combat technology.
He said that the use of modern drone technology has increased significantly, especially in war situations and in combating terrorism.
Dr. Saha said this while attending the joint drone exercise of the Indian Army and Assam Rifles at the Assam Rifles Maidan.
“This is really a matter of joy. We want our country and state to remain protected. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister have always said that our nation is protected—and this was proved in Operation Sindoor. We saw how in just 25 minutes, the camps of terrorists were destroyed,” said Dr. Saha.
He said that such initiatives are also necessary in Tripura, as similar measures are being taken in every state.“Technology has advanced. In the coming days, we will be protected under this technology. We have seen various types of drones. For safety reasons, firing did not take place here; however, demonstrations were held. We also saw an anti-drone defence system that can seize, destroy, or capture drones used by terrorists or enemies. We saw drones capable of carrying explosive materials and firing weapons. Such demonstrations are very necessary for Tripura. Today’s exercise has proved that we are prepared, protected, and secured, and it has also built confidence among the people,” said Dr. Saha.
Dr. Saha also conveyed his thanks to the Assam Rifles and said they have been working tirelessly to provide protection and security to the North East and Tripura.
“They have shown how we can destroy terrorists or enemies using new technology,” he added.
