“A significant security lapse occurred at the Tripura Sundari Temple complex (Matabari) on the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the redeveloped premises, involving sitting MLA Abhishek Debroy. Despite strict adherence to SPG Blue Book guidelines, which mandate multiple security layers and perimeter checks for Prime Ministerial visits, officials struggled to contain the MLA’s breach. Due to the Prime Minister’s presence, conventional crowd-control measures could not be employed, as any escalation risked disrupting the event. Observers noted that even symbolic protests could have prompted severe SPG action, potentially cutting short the inauguration and causing national embarrassment. Questions are now being raised about accountability, with political analysts criticizing Debroy for compromising security and undermining the event. The incident is expected to attract national-level scrutiny, given the SPG’s zero-tolerance policy toward threats during Prime Ministerial visits. Authorities have not yet disclosed whether legal or police action will be initiated.”
