To support the operation, electricity in parts of Agartala was briefly suspended from 5:30 PM to 5:40 PM, a move approved by the administration and executed by the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd (TSECL).
Dr. Vishal Kumar, District Magistrate of West Tripura, emphasized the goal of the drill: “This is about testing Tripura’s readiness for any emergency—be it a natural disaster or an enemy attack.
