Indian home minister visits Indo-Bangla border
Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde yesterday visited the Indo-Bangladesh border in the Assam state's Dhubri district to review security measures, particularly in riverine areas, following allegations of unabated illegal influx from across the border.
Shinde told reporters that he wanted to review security measures on the country's eastern flank, particularly in the riverine areas.
The visit was made as per his commitment made when he had assumed charge about two months ago, he said, adding that he also wanted to visit the border outposts (BOPs) and interact with the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel posted there.
