MALDA,( India) Dec.14. - The Malda district administration has called a coordination meeting with the border security forces in this week, officials said on Wednesday.
Besides the common issues like cross border smuggling, infiltration and imposition of section 144 Cr. P C district officials will discuss the issue of proposed fencing and its completion at the routine meeting with the Indian border guard officials. Indian border security authorities are also planning to man this border areas particularly in the Malda sector which comprises two districts including South Dinajpur to check infiltration of link men of foreign fundamentalist outfits owing to lack of fencing in some places. The authorities are also planning to introduce technology to guard the unfenced areas scientifically, they added. A tentative date has been set in this month for a joint visit of India and Bangladesh along the disputed border areas after a gun battle between the two countries near Adampur and Muchia border out posts, a few months ago, owing to issue of on going anti erosion work either side of the river Mahananda. " We do not have confirmation of the date for joint visit. But its tentative dates were 14 to 16 December", said Mr. O P Gour, the DIG, Malda sector. At the review meeting the plight of the farmers along the borderline will also be discussed. After the fence is built the farmers will have to depend on the BSF officials for opening the gate so that they can cross the border. They will have to return within a stipulated time. A large group of villagers has prevented the concerned officials from building border roads works in this district with the support of almost all political parties. It may be noted that recently, local political party leaders of CPIM and the Trinamul congress criticized the continuous and unlimited border smuggling of cattle and essential items. BJP leaders have also protested against the increase of crimes committed along the Indo Bangladesh border by the Bangladeshis sneaking into Indian Territory at night. Bangladeshis are rendered jobless as land labourers for cultivation in their country in winter season along the border and are forced to commit crime. #
