The Shillong Times on April 29 reports that Tripura government has sent a proposal to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) suggesting specially designed barbed wire fencing for riverine and hilly terrain Indo-Bangladesh border. Of the total 833 kilometre Indo-Bangla border sanctioned for erection of barbed wire fencing, around 80 percent international border has been fenced so far and works are in full swing to fence remaining part of the borderline. Moreover, the Border Security Force (BSF) sources confirmed 694 kilometre Indo-Bangla border has so far been completed while work is in progress along 101 km border line.
