[2] Tripura State Rifles Act was passed by Tripura Legislative Assembly in 1983 and on the basis of that act, it was established on 12 March 1984 to maintain law and order and assist the civil administration in the state.

Such groups are active in Tripura even today[7] and for that TSR plays a pivotal role for ensuring peace.

The TSR operates under the administrative control of the Home Department of the Tripura state government.

The force is trained in both conventional warfare techniques and specialized counter-insurgency operations.

They work closely with the state police and other security agencies to combat insurgency and maintain peace in the region.
