Kolkata: On the day when the Union Secretary of the house of Ajay Kumar Bhalla fell to Kolkata on Friday to hold a meeting with Bengal officials about increasing the jurisdiction of the border security forces (BSF) from 15 km from the International Border, Bengal Assembly Finalsied Resolution, Proposed on Wednesday opposed the move.
Officials said that Bhalla will also discuss the border fence and the issue of land acquisition for the outpost fence border.
The Interior Ministry on October 11 has issued a notice, expanding BSF’s jurisdiction of up to 50 km from the international border in the western state of Bengal, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Assam, who shared international borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Opposing the move, the head of West Bengal Minister Mamata Banerjee had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 24 that BSF effectively entered non-border areas in the country and thus violated BSF’s actions.
The Punjab Council has issued a resolution against notice.
In other developments on Friday, three livestock smugglers – two citizens of Bangladesh and one Indian – killed in shooting BSF in Sitai in Cooch Behar.
The smugglers allegedly made a hole in the fence and BSF Jawan had to open fire, when they were attacked.
BSF Jawan is also injured.
Trinamool MLA from Dinhata, Udayakan Guha, however, blamed BSF for livestock smuggling through the India-Bangladesh border and condemned the murder.
The GELE questioned how one of the victims was identified as Prakash Barman, was beaten, when the norm burned under the hips.
He said CM had registered his protest against MHA notifications because it would increase the torture of ordinary people by BSF.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Future of Union Amit Shah must answer.” “Even if someone is involved in smuggling, BSF doesn’t have the right to kill three people.
Two Bangladesh and one Indian killed.
The center must control BSF’s actions, if not tension will increase on the border.” Furthermore, he said the fence in the area, he said well built and no one can cross.
“How smuggling happens in this situation and how can someone cut the fence? It must have happened with direct support from BSF.” “BSF also includes the river bank.
Their job is to stop smuggling.
If the first defense line is weak then how the country will be protected,” Guha asked.
MLA demands that the fence must be at zero.
“Why is the fence of 150 m in the territory of India.
Torture by BSF is on the land of India.
So far the BSF jurisdiction, which is 15 km now enhanced by 50 km.
Our City of Cooch Behar City will also be under the control of BSF,” alleged.
MLA adds the initial strength of BSF is 8 km on the border and “I think it must be returned back to”.
