The Supreme Court sought a detailed security arrangement plan from the Tripura government to ensure free and fair municipal elections slated on November 25 and also for the declaration of results.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud was hearing a contempt plea by All India Trinamool Congress claiming that the law and order situation is worsening in the state, as the date for local body elections draws closer and the government authorities have not followed the top court's direction on security arrangements.
