AGARTALA, March 13 - The Tripura Government has suspended entry of foreigners through immigration points.

The same also applies to the immigration centre at the MBB Airport here.
Confirming the decision, an official of the Agartala ICP today said the measure has been taken in view of the coronavirus threat.

We are working as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,� said a senior Health Department official.
The State Government has called for all possible steps, including massive cleanliness drives at places of mass gathering. It has also stopped organisation of any mass gathering event.
