SHILLONG: The Coordination Committee on International Border (CCIB) Spokesperson GH Kharshonlor on Thursday alleged that the implementing agency of Indo Bangla border fencing MBCC is violating the State Government order with regards to border fencing.
He said that the State Government in the year 2007 had issued an order to keep the border fencing in abeyance along the Khasi Jaintia sector of Indo Bangla border.
“However, the NBCC is constructing border fencing in Kuliang which is a total violation of the State Government directives,” he said.
It is learnt that a committee of the State Government later issued an order where fencing from Pillar No 1334-1338 was allowed but however the NBCC is carrying out border fencing work in an area where the Government has kept the border fencing in abeyance, informed Kharshonlor.
Out of the 443-kilometer stretch of the Indo-Bangla border in Meghalaya, 230 kilometers have been fenced while work is going on in 110 kilometer while in the remaining portion the fencing work has not been taken up yet due to the opposition.
