AGARTALA, February 15 (TIWN): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh praised the Border Security Force (BSF) for tirelessly and courageously protecting the country’s border areas. Taking to TIWN today Inspector General of BSF Tripura frontier B.N. Sharma said that during Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’a visit here yesterday, he praised the Border Security Force (BSF) for tirelessly and courageously protecting the country’s border areas and said that jawans are protecting the border with all their might. According to IG B.N. Sharma hideouts of northeast India militant groups still exist in different parts of Bangladesh. We have asked the BGB (Border Guard Bangladesh) to dismantle these camps and to take action against the terrorists. He said the terrorist outfits of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland have set up their camps and hideouts in different parts of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) (in southeast Bangladesh) and Moulvibazar and Sylhet districts (under Sylhet division in northeastern Bangladesh).

“No one can dare cast an evil eye on India. Even if someone tries to do so, the BSF and other security forces will give them a fitting reply. Our BSF jawans are most concerned about 'rashtriya swabhimaan'. I can say that no country can raise its eye on India”, Rajnath Singh mentioned.
The insurgents were using Tripura-Mizoram-Bangladesh tri-junction as corridor, security agencies including Assam Riffles and Tripura State Riffles (TSR) have been trying hard to stop infiltration of militants from across the border, the IG further mentioned.
Four Indian northeastern states of Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Assam share an 1,880-km border with Bangladesh. The mountainous terrain, dense forests and other hindrances make the unfenced borders porous and vulnerable, enabling illegal immigrants and intruders cross over without any hurdle. 
India is erecting a fence and putting up floodlights along the 4,096-km India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya and Mizoram to check trans-border movement of militants, and to check border crimes.
