Security tightened along India-Nepal border | The Gorakhpur police here have beefed up security measures along the India-Nepal border to safeguard against terrorist attacks. Following intelligence reports about the possibility of insurgents crossing the border, the security personnel of the Sashastra
Seema Bal (SSB) have become alert and are monitoring the movements along the Sonoli
border in the State. The flight of three Pakistani terrorists from New Delhi has
added to the concerns of the SSB officials. The locals here are amazed to see
the security measures being taken by the SSB officials. "Earlier the security
was not much, but now it has increased," said Krishna Tiwari, a local. The security
personnel are keeping a close vigil on everyone who crosses the border and are
conducting stringent checks on their belongings. "We got instructions that some
insurgents might be crossing over and so we have been asked to maintain strict
vigil," said SSB Sub-Inspector Shakti Prakash Uniyal. "Because India-Nepal border
is porous, there are incidents of ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) agents, those
indulging in counterfeit currencies were on rise and so the deployment of the
forces by the authorities is very appropriate," said India-Nepal Friendship Organisation President Srichand Gupta. |
