Upon arriving in Agartala, DG Chawdhary was promptly briefed on the current security landscape and operational preparedness by the Inspector General (IG) of the Tripura Frontier. This briefing was crucial in providing a comprehensive overview of the security status and the effectiveness of the measures in place. Following this, DG Chawdhary convened a high-level meeting with senior BSF officers.

He highlighted their critical role in safeguarding the nation's borders, particularly in preventing infiltration and transborder crimes. The BSF's performance in Tripura was specifically commended for its effectiveness in maintaining security despite the challenging circumstances.
In addition to his interactions with BSF officials, DG Chawdhary also engaged in discussions with key state authorities. He met with Tripura's Director General of Police, Amitabh Ranjan, and other senior officials including IPS Anurag Dhankar and IPS ADG Law and Order. These discussions were aimed at addressing various state-specific security issues and ensuring that there is a coordinated approach to managing the security situation. The dialogue underscored the need for collaboration between different security agencies to ensure a comprehensive and effective response to the potential threats arising from the unrest in Bangladesh.
Following his meetings and reviews, DG Chawdhary departed for Delhi in the evening.
