[[{“value”:”

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha is scheduled to inaugurate a three-day Diwali festival at the historic 525-year-old Maa Tripura Sundari Temple in Gomati district on Sunday, officials said.

The temple at Udaipur, one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, was built in 1501 by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya.

“Chief Minister Manik Saha is scheduled to inaugurate the three-day Diwali festival at Maa Tripura Sundari temple. All preparations for the festival have been completed,” Gomati District Magistrate Rinku Lather said on Saturday.

A Bhajan Sandhya and drone show would be the main attraction on Sunday, the DM said on Facebook.

Security has been stepped up ahead of the upcoming Diwali festival at Tripura Sundari temple to ensure effective crowd management and maintain law and order during the annual event, a senior police officer said.

He said Inspector General of Police (IGP) Law and Order, Ippar Manchakon, has visited the Matabari area to review the security arrangements.

During the visit, the IGP inspected the entire fairground and reviewed various aspects of the security arrangements, including police deployment, crowd management, traffic regulation and emergency response mechanisms.

The district administration has declared a no-fly zone within a five-KM radius of the temple in Udaipur from November 8 to 10, 2026, in view of the festival.

“The restriction has been imposed to ensure the safety and security of the temple premises and the general public during the three-day festival. The order prohibits the use of drones, manned or unmanned aircraft, and other flying or aerial objects within the designated area during the specified period,” an official release said.

However, drones and other aerial devices, whether manually operated or automated, authorised for use during the Diwali Mela are exempted from the restrictions.
