The Army has been deployed in Tripura and Assam as a fierce debate rages over the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in the Rajya Sabha today. Sources have confirmed that two columns have been dispatched to the Kanchanpur and Manu areas of the state, while a third has been sent to Bongaingon in Assam. One column consists of at least 70 soldiers and is led by one, usually two, officers.
