Dangerously Close Proximity

The bus services between Dhaka, Kolkata, Agartala, Shillong and Guwahati has further aggravated the risk factor of infiltration of Mujahideens in the Seven Sister Zone. On focusing our attention to Meghalaya, we find that there exits over 98 “Gaps” consisting of drains, rivers and streams and 90-km area that have not been fenced yet along the Bangladesh-Meghalaya border that comprise 443 kilometers. The risk factor of the states grows up as they share massive areas of border with Bangladesh. The kilometerbreak up is: West Bengal (2,216 km), Tripura (856 km), Mizoram (318 km) and Assam (263 km). According to the West Bengal Police, the six plotters arrested confessed during interrogation that they smuggled explosives at the Mahabodhi Mahavihara of Bodhgaya in Bihar to kill the Dalai Lama during his visit there to avenge the alleged persecution of Muslims of Rakhine province in Myanmar.
