SHILLONG, July 22: Security has been beefed up along the Indo-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya to prevent illegal immigration in view of the ongoing unrest in the neighbouring country, a BSF official said on Monday.
Named “Ops Alert”, it is an exercise to ensure effective border domination and management, Inspector General (IG) of BSF Meghalaya Frontier, Harbax Singh Dhillon said.
“So far, the BSF has facilitated the entry of 574 Indian students, 435 Nepal students, and eight students from Bhutan through the Dawki Integrated Check Post (ICP) in East Khasi Hills,” he said.
“Additionally, 18 students entered on Monday through the Kilapara ICP in West Garo Hills,” he added.
Dhillon said BSF personnel have been directed to extend all possible assistance to the students at the border, by providing them with drinking water, food, medical assistance, and arranging their travel home.
More students are expected to cross over as the unrest in Bangladesh is unlikely to subside soon, he said. (PTI)
