Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on December 16 said his government would maintain zero tolerance against crimes and strive hard to develop the state into a "business hub".
Addressing the inaugural session of a conference of the state BJP's Law and Legal Affairs Department here, Deb said "true development" could be achieved only after containing crimes.
"We would transform Tripura into a business hub and a crime-free state," the chief minister asserted.
Referring to places like Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong, Deb said the rate of crime there was considerably "low" and that he wanted to develop Tripura in a similar direction.
