UNB, Dhaka :
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has asked the Border Security Force (BSF) to strengthen its watch along the Bangladesh-India border together with other paramilitary and state security forces, reported Indian media.
The chief minister, accompanied by senior security and civil officials on Friday, visited the border area, and asked the BSF to stay more vigilant while resorting to firing and maintain friendly relations with people living along the frontiers.
“BSF, CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) and Tripura State Rifles (TSR)
must jointly operate along the borders with Bangladesh to curb terrorism and trans-border movement of militants,” reports Business Standard on Saturday quoting an official as said by the chief minister.
Sarkar held a series of meetings with the BSF and other officials while visiting the bordering areas and suggested to work in cooperation with the bordering villagers to check the border crimes and protect the properties.
The state government has given top priority to undertake developmental programmes in remote, bordering and inaccessible areas.
The chief minister is likely to talk to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh soon to ask the concerned authorities to complete the works for erection of border fencing along the India-Bangladesh borders.
