A 10-member delegation from the Indian Coast Guard is currently on a six-day visit to the Assam Rifles formation at Kunjaban Garrison, Agartala, Tripura. The visit, which began on December 22, aims to strengthen cooperation and professional affiliation between the two premier forces of the country. This visit is being conducted under the institutionalized ‘Charter of Affiliation’ between Assam Rifles and the Indian Coast Guard to promote closer interactions and exchange best practices.
The delegation, during their visit, met with Brigadier Manish Rana, Deputy Inspector General of 21 Sector Assam Rifles, to discuss issues of mutual interest, regional security dynamics, and avenues for future collaboration. They also witnessed the ceremonial Beating Retreat, showcasing the rich traditions of the Assam Rifles. Additionally, the delegation visited the Integrated Check Post (ICP) in Agartala and explored cultural landmarks of Tripura, including the Ujjayanta Palace, where they were briefed about border management and cross-border trade facilitations.
Further, the delegation paid a courtesy call on the Governor of Tripura, Indrasena Reddy Nallu at Lok Bhavan, Agartala, emphasizing the importance of inter-service cooperation in ensuring national security. This visit comes shortly after the commissioning of ICG Ship ‘Amulya’, the third vessel in the series of new-generation Adamya-class Fast Patrol Vessels, in Goa. The ship, equipped with advanced diesel engines and state-of-the-art weapons, significantly enhances the Coast Guard’s maritime enforcement capabilities.
