Agartala, May 21: In a remarkable development that has drawn widespread attention, Vanghmun Police Station in Tripura’s scenic Jampui Hills has reportedly not registered a single FIR or criminal case since the beginning of 2026. The achievement has been described as a rare example of successful community policing and social harmony.
Located near the India-Bangladesh border in North Tripura district, Vanghmun is already known for its picturesque landscapes and tourism appeal. It is now earning recognition for another reason — maintaining a crime-free record over several months of the year.
The information was confirmed by North Tripura Superintendent of Police Anurag Dhankar, who highlighted the unique environment prevailing in the region. According to officials, the development reflects strong cooperation between local communities and law enforcement authorities.
Unlike many places where disagreements often turn into police cases, residents in Vanghmun largely depend on community-based conflict resolution mechanisms. Village elders, youth organisations and local groups play an active role in mediating disputes and resolving issues before they escalate further.
Officials and residents attribute this atmosphere of peace to the proactive engagement of local police personnel led by Officer-in-Charge Sub-Inspector Lalringpuia Darlong. Regular interaction between police officials and the local population has reportedly strengthened trust and encouraged cooperation.
Local residents say the tradition of brotherhood and coexistence among communities such as Mizo, Bru and Chakma has long shaped social life in the Jampui Hills region. The culture of mutual respect, dialogue and community responsibility has contributed significantly to maintaining peace and social discipline.
Observers believe that the Vanghmun model demonstrates how policing can shift from being merely reactive to becoming preventive through active community participation. They say building trust between citizens and law enforcement agencies can reduce tensions and help address issues before they evolve into criminal matters.
The achievement is being viewed as an example that could inspire similar approaches in other regions, showing how cooperation, dialogue and community engagement can contribute to maintaining law and order effectively.
