Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said the unfenced stretch of Dhubri district of Assam's border with Bangladesh will be completely sealed off if Bharatiya Janata Party returns to power in the state.

Addressing his first assembly election rally in Bishwanath in Assam, he said the BJP-led government has sealed a major part of the India-Bangladesh border and installed electronic surveillance along the riverine stretch.

"We have sealed the international border in Dhubri. Whatever little stretch is left unfenced will be completely seated if the BJP returns to power in Assam," Rajnath said.

He said the BJP government in Tripura is also working towards stopping "illegal immigration" from the neighbouring country, our New Delhi correspondent reports.

Rajnath was campaigning for sitting BJP legislator Promod Borthakur, who is pitted in a direct contest with Congress nominee Anjan Borah in Biswanath constituency that is going to polls in the first phase on March 27.

This is beyond funny.

Please put barbed wire all around Bangladesh, so that Indians cannot get into Bangladesh....

We should not rely on Indians sealing the border. They can open the gates whenever they want. We need our own border wall.

Time has come for us to erect border fence of our own. As far as I know, currently border road construction is going on along the Myanmar and Mizoram (Indian state) border. After constructing the road, fencing will be done. This project need to extend all of the Indian border. Assam is the poorest among five Indian states border Bangladesh, it also share the shortest border with Bangladesh among the five, yet they bark the most.

1,036km CHT border road to stop smuggling, boost tourism

The government is constructing a 1,036km border road across the three hilly districts of Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Bandarban to aid the fight against smuggling as well as boost trade and tourism.

The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the first phase of the border road in March 2018. The phase includes construction of 317 kilometres of new roads along the country’s south-eastern border by June 2021.
Bangladesh's south-eastern hill region shares 330km of its border with India and 210km with Myanmar. The total work to construct the border road will take approximately 10 years.
Regarding the border road, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said: “Myanmar and India have borders with Bandarban, Rangamati, and Khagrachhari. Therefore, border roads are being constructed to ensure security in the areas.

“There will be more investment in the areas after the construction of the border roads. Many tourists will visit CHT to enjoy the natural beauty,” he added.

Speaking to Dhaka Tribune last week, a senior army official in Bandarban said the district shares 144km of its border with Mayanmar and 46km with India. Of the total length, about 28km is totally unguarded.

“We do not have any communication access in those areas; even Border Guard Bangladesh do not have any outposts in that 28km,” the army official said, asking to remain anonymous
Superintendent of Rangamati Police Alamgir Kabir told Dhaka Tribune: “The Marma Liberation Party has been active in the Bandarban border area for the last three years. Sometimes, it is tough to reach remote areas.”

A top intelligence official of Bandarban told Dhaka Tribune: “Recently, a Bangladeshi armed group of CHT has been trying to make a connection with an insurgent group of Myanmar to buy arms and ammunition. Already, they have heavy weapons like machine guns, self-loading rifles, M16s, AK-47s, AK-22s, AK-56s, and even rocket-propelled grenades. They are using this barren forest as a safe place for training purposes. Once the border road is constructed, there can be more patrols so the insurgency will stop and the illegal arms training too.”

After Ecnec approval of the project, AHM Mustafa Kamal, former planning minister, said: “The construction of roads in that region is crucial because of its susceptibility to weapon and drug smuggling, as well as human trafficking. Border roads on the rugged hilly frontiers will enable Border Guard Bangladesh and other security forces to keep a tight watch, and help the expansion of trade, commerce and tourism facilities in the hilly areas.”

Oh please, we haven't done the most basic thing and here we're talking about mining the border and what not!!

I just want a border wall, rest we can think later.

These Indian maggots send on of their highest remittances into their country from BD and that needs to stop. Also every Indian maggot is a potential security threat.

This country literally needs to be quarantined from rest of world. Can you imagine, there's ten times more of these maggots in Sub Saharan Africa than Africans in India? Yet Indians beat up Nigerians on their streets everyday to get white man feeling. Such lowlife scums.

Not really . but the reality is India and Bangladesh is going to be the bitterest enemies in future. It's the beginning only. You already saw mass anti Indian movement in Bangladesh and it will increase day by day.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

I think this Indian defence minister should cross check his records with his finance minister first before having his uncontrollable urge, upping his country.

Has to be first of a kind event when people are moving from a richer country to less privileged one!
