The Border Security Force (BSF) has stepped up its vigil along the unfenced boundaries in East Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills, reports The Shillong Times. According to an unnamed BSF official the tightening of security follows a complaint by the Lawbah border area circle of the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU). The KSU unit had complained to the DIG and area commandant of BSF about “rampant infiltration of Bangladeshi immigrants” through Shella, Nongtrai and Ryngkhu areas. BSF officials said some Indian villagers are employing Bangladeshi workers in betel nut plantation and farming. They stressed on the need for speeding up border fencing to curb infiltration and smuggling of contraband. A large area of the Indo-Bangla border in Meghalaya is yet to be fenced due to opposition from the Co-ordination Committee on International Border and local residents who are demanding that the fencing be undertaken from zero line and not 150 yards inside the Indian Territory.

The pressure group also demanded that its leaders and members, who were arrested after the violent protest in Ri Bhoi on May 27, be released. KSU ‘president’ Lambokstarwell Marngar said that the Government has failed to come up with effective laws to prevent influx of “outsiders” into the State. “We have all along maintained a strong stand that it is only when such laws are in place, we will be ready to talk on whether to welcome the railway project,” said Marngar.
