The Tripura government's actions followed the Union Ministry of Home Affairs circular , directing all states and Union Territories across the country to verify the credentials of persons suspected to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. If the documents of the foreign citizens are found to be fake or illegally procured, they would face deportation, the MHA circular had said. The ruling BJP ally Tipra Motha Party (TMP) has been organising different types of agitation for the past two months, demanding the push-back of "illegal migrants" from Bangladesh and Myanmar. The tribal past party has demanded strict implementation of the orders from the MHA concerning the identification, detention, and deportation of illegal migrants. TMP senior leader and party's legislator Ranjit Debbarma noted that the BJP-ruled states like Assam and Gujarat had taken firm steps against infiltrators, but the Tripura government had not taken adequate steps in this regard. The party's senior leader and Forest and Environment Minister Animesh Debbama had said that no infiltrators would be allowed to stay in Tripura. Debbama said that a nine-member delegation of the party led by Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma would meet the Election Commission of India next week to raise several key issues related to the electoral roll preparation in Tripura. He said, "A major demand would be for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Tripura, similar to the process recently carried out in Bihar to identify the fake voters and infiltrators.'

SIT formed to detect illegal immigrants in West Tripura: Police
The 15-member SIT is headed by a senior deputy superintendent of police, while all the officers-in-charge (OCs) of police stations were also included in it. Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma thanked the police for the move and asked the indigenous people to report any such illegal immigrant. Agartala, Jul 19 (PTI) The West Tripura district police has constituted a 15-member Special Task Force (STF) to detect, identify and deport immigrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. 'For deportation of illegal Bangladesh nationals/Rohingyas, a district-level Special Task Force (STF) has been constituted for West Tripura district police to detect, identify and deport immigrants from Bangladesh/Myanmar settled or apprehended in the district,' Superintendent of Police (SP) Kiran Kumar said in an official order. 'If a person is identified as an illegal Bangladesh national or a Rohingya after inquiry, the respective team members shall immediately ensure the capture of their biometrics (fingerprint and facial photographs) and demographic details and upload those on the foreigners' identification portal,' it said. 'After capturing biometrics and demographic details, the illegal immigrants shall be handed over to the officers of BSF for deportation to their native land. The dy SP, DIB (District Intelligence Bureau) will ensure collection and compilation of weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis data in this regard for ready reference,' the recent order added. Debbarma claimed that the SIT was formed as a result of persistent pressure created on the BJP-led government by TMP, a constituent of the ruling coalition, to address the illegal immigration issue. 'Thank you Tripura Police for taking up this crucial issue. If we all continue to speak up together, things will happen on the ground. The genuine people of Tripura should report such activity,' he said in a social media post. PTI PS ACD This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Chennai's third master plan to drive vertical growth, housing, and civic upgrades, ETInfra
Advt Advt Soon, residents can look forward to living closer to work, more housing options, and better civic infrastructure . CMDA's upcoming third master plan is considering a higher FSI in key zones, mixed-use development , and phased upgrades to support compact, vertical growth across the city. Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) is preparing the third master plan (TMP) for the 1,189 sq km of Chennai Metropolitan Area. To reshape Chennai's skyline, the plan proposes higher FSI in targeted zones such as metro corridors, entertainment zones, commercial centres, and industrial belts to boost vertical growth."We need to make better use of city space — increasing FSI near metros, malls, green zones, and industrial areas in a planned manner, rather than blindly, will help more people live closer to work and transport, while making the most of existing infrastructure," said a CMDA CMDA is also planning to improve underground amenities to support vertical growth. "We understand that increasing FSI without adequate infrastructure upgrades — particularly underground sewage, water supply, and roads — could strain already overstretched civic services. We recommend phasing utilities based on carrying capacity," the official critical aspect is the integration of slum communities into the urban framework. With an estimated 40 per cent of the city's population living in informal settlements, experts say the master plan must go beyond relocation and focus on in-situ redevelopment."This includes scaling up FSI in legally recognised slum areas, providing employment linkages, and creating essential social infrastructure. We are not doing justice if we don't take care of their needs," the official added. "Relocating them far away breaks their social fabric and denies them dignity."There is also a demand to rethink land use strategies. Planners say Chennai needs a more practical and flexible land use map that reduces agricultural zoning and increases mixed-use zones to reflect evolving urban patterns. Such flexibility would ease the burden of land use change processes, which are currently mired in bureaucracy.K P Subramanian, urban planner, said that flexible land use zoning is a welcome move. "The second master plan has more than 10 land use zones, making the plan rigid. It may be reduced to a few such as urbanisable, conservation, and hazardous to make the master plan development-friendly," he added that a cautious approach is required to increase FSI. It calls for a detailed study to match the infrastructure. "The objective of the first and the second master plans was to decentralise the CBD and the city, and the plans proposed six urban nodes and four new towns to achieve the objective. That strategy is valid even today and can be pursued. Another critical issue is the inter-institutional coordination. The onus to make other functional agencies have a sense of ownership for the master plan lies with CMDA," he minister P K Sekarbabu said that the master plan will be rolled out on time.

Traffic diversion on Karak Highway to make way for construction work of ECRL project
A temporary traffic diversion on the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Highway (KLK) involving the stretch from KM25.75 to KM26.4 heading towards Kuantan (from Gombak to Genting Sempah) has been activated recently to make way for the construction works of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) director-general Datuk Sazali Harun said the diversion involves converting the existing three-lane route into a one-way traffic flow towards Kuala Lumpur, while maintaining the same total lane capacity to ensure smooth traffic movement throughout the implementation period. He said LLM, along with concessionaire AFA PRIME Berhad and Malaysia Rail Link (MRL), have conducted several series of continuous monitoring since the traffic diversion was activated. 'Based on the latest monitoring, carried out on July 14, 2025, it was found that the traffic situation at the location was orderly, under control and smooth moving,' he said in a statement today. Meanwhile, he said the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) design for the diversion had been reviewed and confirmed by road safety auditors through the Road Safety Audit (RSA) Level 4 Part 1. 'RSA Level 4 Part 2 will be implemented on July 30 to assess compliance with implementation standards and to review any proposed improvements based on the progress observed at the site,' he said. Therefore, the public is advised to adhere to all safety signage at the site and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid traffic congestion. — BERNAMA
