Agartala, Sep 06, 2011 : About 183 kilometre stretch of 856 kilometres of Tripura’s border with Bangladesh is still left porous and the entire barbedware fencing work is expected to be completed by next March, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar informed the state assembly on Monday.
Replying to a query Sarkar said that the state government had already sent proposal to carry out fencing at zero line along Indo-Bangladesh border at nine places including Akhaura Check post of Agartala to Ministry of home affairs but it has not been sanctioned yet.
He however, pointed out that as many as 7744 houses of Indian residents had fallen outside fencing constructed along the border and 4691 of them had been provided houses in near by locations under Indira Awas Yujana and accordingly if the other families demand housing the state government is committed to provide house for them in phased manner.
In another reply, power minister Manik Dey stated that National Project Construction Corporation Ltd (NPCC) had released Rs 13 Cr for installation of floodlight along Indo-Bangladesh border to Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd (TSECL) and Rs 10.84 Cr still lay unspent.
Detailing the flood light project Dey said NPCC had applied for installation of electricity in 192 Border outposts (BOP) across the state and subsequently TSECL submitted estimate of Rs 124.54 Cr but released only Rs 13 Cr by which flood lighting work was initiated in 41 BOPs.
Border Security Force (BSF) and Bangladesh Border Guards (BBG) have resolved the stalemate over zero line fencing along Indo-Bangladesh border in West Tripura and finalised the alignment for erection of wire fencing only two moths ago.
Bangladesh and India had agreed to erect zero line fencing avoiding the existing norms of fencing 150 yards inside India in 13 locations, considering the location of important institutions including airport, market and schools following persuasion of Tripura.
Of the total sanctioned flood-lighting area- 854 km, works have so far been completed along 180 km border, according to official report. The minister added that Centre had sanctioned Rs 400 core for flood lighting to ensure foolproof border vigil, keeping in mind illegal cross border movement.
