In an achievement that has attracted media attention and set a rare benchmark in policing and social harmony, the Director General of Tripura Police Anurag Dhankar, IPS has confirmed that not a single case or FIR has been registered at Vanghmun Police Station in North Tripura’s Jampui Hills during 2026 so far.

The unprecedented development has turned the remote hill subdivision into a symbol of peace, communal harmony and successful community policing, drawing praise from different quarters across the country. At a time when police stations in most parts of India routinely deal with criminal complaints, disputes and law-and-order challenges, the complete absence of FIRs at Vanghmun Police Station has emerged as an exceptional example of social discipline and mutual understanding among people.

Confirming the matter, the Director General of Tripura Police Anurag Dhankar, IPS stated that “this year so far no case has been registered at Vanghmun Police Station,” highlighting the remarkable law-and-order situation prevailing in the Jampui Hills region.

Situated in the scenic Jampui Hills of North Tripura district near the India-Bangladesh border, Vanghmun Police Station covers an area inhabited mainly by Mizo, Bru and Chakma communities. Despite its ethnic diversity and remote geographical location, the region has maintained extraordinary peace and communal harmony.

Police officials believe that continuous community engagement, mutual trust between the police and local residents, and proactive social coordination have played a major role behind this achievement. Local leaders and civil society members have also contributed significantly in resolving minor issues amicably before they escalate into legal disputes.

Sources said the success of Vanghmun Police Station is being viewed as a model of community-centric policing, where public cooperation and preventive policing have worked together effectively. The role of local police personnel in maintaining close coordination with village elders, youth groups and social organisations has also been appreciated.

National and Local media houses have started highlighting the rare achievement, describing it as one of the most peaceful policing jurisdictions in the country. The development has also brought fresh attention to Tripura’s improving law-and-order environment and the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in the state’s tribal areas.

Residents of Jampui Hills say the culture of brotherhood and respect among communities has existed for decades in the region. Minor misunderstandings are often settled through dialogue and community intervention instead of legal confrontation. Many locals believe that the peaceful social fabric of the hills is one of the key reasons behind the zero FIR record.

Vanghmun village, already known for its cleanliness, tourism potential and disciplined lifestyle, is now gaining recognition nationally for another reason, becoming a rare example where an entire police station jurisdiction has functioned without a single registered criminal case during the year.

Observers feel that the achievement sends a strong message across the country that peace, social unity and public-police cooperation can significantly reduce crime and legal disputes. Many believe the Vanghmun model could inspire similar community-based peace initiatives in other parts of India.

The achievement has also become a matter of pride for Tripura Police and the people of the state, showcasing how effective coordination between administration and citizens can create an atmosphere of trust, stability and lasting peace. The officers in charge of Vanghmun Police Station is sub-inspector Lalringpuia Darlong.
