Security stepped up for Tripura polls

AGARTALA, APRIL 21. Tripura will be the only State going to the polls tomorrow, where authorities have stepped up security fearing violence in the wake of a poll-boycott call issued by the banned All- Tripura Tiger Force, a militant outfit.

The Director-General of Police, G.M. Srivastav, said special security measures had been taken in 150 booths located in insurgency-prone areas, which would be aerially monitored to thwart any attempts to disrupt polling.
