AGARTALA, Feb 26 (TIWN): Despite of demarcating several border areas, State Government is least bothered to complete the border fencing as soon as possible.

Besides, the areas are hit with rampant smuggling, as there are no fencing has been done the miscreants easily crosses the border area.

However, the rampant smuggling at the non-fencing area seems the area does not get kind of strict vigilance.

With the delay in the fencing work in various areas resentment brews amongst the locals as they are suffering from illegal intrusion through the non-fencing area.

It has been prolonged many days that the smuggling of cow has been going on but no initiative has been taken to curb the rising smuggling in the area, complained the locals.

A section of people alleged that due to the under table connection between police and smugglers the police are not doing anything to stop the smuggling of Phensedyl and contraband items.

However, the locals of the area mentioned that the despite of BSF are keeping vigilance in the area smuggling continues. They further mentioned that until and unless the border area are fenced the smuggling will continue.
