Fencing 319 km on Indo-Bangladesh border not possible: MoS Home Nityanand Rai
New Delhi, Feb 10 (UNI) Fencing the 319 km on the Indo-Bangladesh border is not possible as it runs through rivers and difficult terrain, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Responding to a question, Mr Rai said High Definition cameras have been installed near rivers and difficult terrain to prevent infiltration. Besides, security personnel on boats also maintain a constant vigil on such areas.
Fencing could not be done due to non-acquisition of land in 249 km area and will be undertaken when land is available.
