Tight security along Bangla border

By The Assam Tribune

GUWAHATI, Jan 4 � Security along the Indo-Bangla border with Assam has been beefed up on the eve of general elections in neighbouring Bangladesh tomorrow.

Patrolling by the BSF has been intensified along the three border districts - Karimganj, Cachar and Dhubri - and the respective district administrations have stepped up alert, official sources said.

Assam shares 263 km of border with Bangladesh, including 134 km stretch between Dhubri and Rangpur, 92 km between Karimganj and Sylhet and 37 km between Cachar and Sylhet.

The forces were ready to foil any intrusion bid by miscreants after instigating trouble in that country. � PTI
