Member of Parliament (MP) Pratima Bhoumik, on November 20 stated that fencing along Indo-Bangladesh border could not be completed due to numerous problems including objections by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), reports Eastern Mirror. According to MP, Minister of State of Home Affairs Nityanand Rai stated that by physical fencing and technological solutions 1,880 km India-Bangladesh frontiers along Tripura (856 km), Meghalaya (443 km), Mizoram (318 km) and Assam (263 km) — would be fenced. Out of 1,880 km Bangladesh border with India’s four northeastern states, around 1,477 km has been covered by barbed wire fencing. Remaining around 403 km would be covered by hi-tech solutions (62 km) and physical fencing (341 km). However, the fencing work could not be completed in all the bordering areas due to objections by BGB. Besides difficult terrain, short working season (longer monsoon period), land acquisition problem, opposition by a section of people are the other hurdles.
