Security has been tightened in Agartala regarding playback singer Shreya Ghoshal’s live musical concert at Swami Vivekananda Stadium on Saturday.
The concert, which is expected to be attended by around 40,000 people, is the culmination of the Tripura government’s Tripura Tourism Promo Fest which began on December 3 to increase tourist attendance and promote the state’s culture and heritage.
Adequate police, Tripura State Rifles (TSR), and Central Security Forces will be deployed at the stadium, officials said.
We made detailed arrangements for Shreya Ghoshal’s musical concert. We will use drones for crowd control. A good number of security personnel will be deployed at all the entrances. Our personnel will also be deployed in plain clothes,’ said West District Superintendent of Police Kiran Kumar.
Apart from state police officers, 700 TSR personnel and 50 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel have been deployed.
Shreya Ghoshal is known for a string of hit numbers, including her latest performance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee.
Tripura has recently seen several celebrities visit to promote tourism in the state, including former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly who is the brand ambassador of Tripura Tourism.
