This law gives the government of Tripura special powers to maintain public order and ensure the security of the state. It applies throughout the entire state and focuses on protecting essential supplies and services that the community needs to survive. The act defines who counts as an anti-social person and what constitutes a subversive act, allowing authorities to take action against those who threaten communal harmony or the state's stability. Originally set to last until 1985, the government can extend its duration in two-year increments, though the total extension cannot exceed ten years.
