Tripura's Jampui Hills under Vanghmun PS records zero FIRs in 2026, sets national example of peace
Agartala, May 16
In a remarkable example of communal harmony and peaceful coexistence, the remote Jampui Hills region under Vanghmun Police Station in North Tripura district has reportedly witnessed no formal complaints or FIR registrations in 2026 till date, a development being viewed as an exceptional achievement in maintaining social peace.
The success has largely been attributed to the proactive role and continuous vigilance of Tripura Police in fostering brotherhood and harmony among the three major communities residing in the area -- the Mizo, Bru and Chakma communities.
A local businessman, Prananjoy Barua, who has been running a hotel business in Vanghmun village for the last 12 to 13 years, shared his experience while speaking to ANI and praised the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in the hill station area.
"I am currently in front of Jampui Police Station. I have been running a hotel business here for the last 12-13 years. There have been no major problems here. The arrangements for staying and food are very good, and I also live here myself. Our police station, Jampui Police Station, has not had any serious cases so far. If any small disputes arise, people usually settle them among themselves peacefully," Barua said.
Officer-in-Charge of Vanghmun Police Station, Lalrinpuia Darlong, said that soon after assuming charge on July 19, 2025, he initiated dialogue with leaders and members of all three communities to strengthen the peace process in the region.
"After joining as OC, I first called representatives of the Mizo, Bru and Chakma communities and discussed the ongoing peace process under Vanghmun Police Station. Since then, we have been continuously monitoring the situation and maintaining vigilance so that harmony and peace remain intact among all communities," he said.
The police officer further stated that the efforts of Tripura Police have helped strengthen friendly relations, mutual understanding and social harmony among the residents.
"I have the privilege to say that through constant vigilance and community policing, Tripura Police has been able to ensure peace, brotherhood and harmony among the three communities residing under this police station area. In the year 2026 till today, there has been no registration of formal complaints or FIRs. This reflects the good conduct of the people as well as the role played by Tripura Police," he added.
Residents and local observers believe that the peaceful environment in the picturesque Jampui Hills has emerged as a model of community cooperation and effective policing, especially at a time when social tensions are witnessed in various parts of the country.

Honestly, this gives me hope. In a time when we hear so much about communal tensions everywhere, Tripura's Mizo, Bru and Chakma communities living in peace is beautiful. The police deserve credit too — it's not just about catching criminals, it's about building trust. Let this be a model for all of India! 🇮🇳
Impressive stats, but let's also remember that remote areas often underreport due to lack of access or awareness. Not saying this isn't genuine, but we should be cautious before calling it a 'national example'. That said, any effort to maintain peace is commendable. Hope the police continue their good work without becoming complacent.
As someone who's studied community policing models in the West, this is genuinely impressive. The fact that the OC initiated dialogue with all three communities personally shows leadership that's often missing in larger jurisdictions. Zero FIRs isn't just about low crime — it's about social cohesion. Tripura Police should document this case study for other states to learn from.
Jampui Hills is such a beautiful place — I visited once during the orange blossom season. The fact that it's also peaceful makes it even more special. Happy to see Mizo, Bru and Chakma communities living together harmoniously. This is the India we need to celebrate! 🌺
Great news, but let's not ignore that 'zero FIRs' can also mean disputes are being settled informally
