'Total fencing of NE borders not possible'
Assam Tribune | Raju Das | Shillong, Nov 19
National Security Advisory Board chairman Naresh Chandra said here today that the North East India’s international borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh cannot be physically sealed totally, but definitely can be “managed intelligently.” Emerging after a meeting with top security officials from the region and Board members, Chandra said: “Physical sealing of the border cannot be achieved totally, but the borders can be managed intelligently,” Chandra told reporters.
North East shares over 1,624 km of international border with Myanmar and 3,910 km with Bangladesh. Work is on to fence this entire stretch, but still the unfenced areas remain vulnerable to infiltration by militants, and other anti-national elements. The Union Home Ministry is trying to rely on technology together with its fencing activities largely due to the hostile terrain.
