BSF intensifies border vigil

SHILLONG, Aug 16: The Border Security Force has intensified its vigil along the India-Bangladesh border over fears that some youth may cross over to join the banned HNLC, which reportedly has its headquarters in the neighbouring country.
A BSF official said that though there are no specific inputs about any youth from Meghalaya crossing over to Bangladesh, the frontier force has received instructions to be on high alert against cross-border movements.
There were similar reports of the possibility of people crossing over to Bangladesh to join the HNLC during the peak of the pro-Inner Line Permit movement.
