Dismantle militant camps, BSF to urge Bangladesh
Morung Express | Agartala, December 8 (IANS):
The Border Security Force (BSF) will ask its Bangladesh counterparts at a meeting next week to dismantle hideouts set up by militants from India's northeast in the neighbouring country, officials said in Agartala on Thursday. A meeting between senior officials of BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) will be held in Meghalaya capital Shillong Dec 12-15 to adopt strategies to jointly tackle terrorism, infiltration, border crimes and other border related problems.
"Though BGB and Bangladeshi security forces have already taken some action against the Indian militants taking shelter in their territory, there are over 50 camps (of northeast terrorists) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of southeast Bangladesh and Sylhet besides other regions," a BSF official told reporters in Agartala.
"Mostly, separatist outfits belonging to Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Meghalaya have some permanent and some transit camps on Bangladeshi soil adjoining India," the official said on condition of anonymity. "BSF officials will also ask its Bangladesh counterparts to hand over militants from India's northeast and convicted Indian nationals hiding in their territory." "Following the crackdown against Indian militants by Bangladesh security forces, a large number of militants of different outfits have taken shelter in neighbouring Myanmar."
