Border fencing on to curb insurgency
Says Indian PM
Pti, South Tripura
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday accused some agencies of foreign governments and other "inimical" elements of helping insurgent groups in anti-national activities and giving refuge to such groups.Without naming any country, Singh, who is on a visit to Tripura, said there are instances of extremist groups taking shelter in the territories of the neighbouring countries. Singh's comments came in the wake of an offer from Bangladesh during the Indo-Bangla talks in New Delhi on Friday that Indian officials can visit the neighbouring country and see for themselves if there are any militant camps. Singh said, "The fencing work along the Indo-Bangladesh border is progressing well. This should further bring down insurgent activities in Tripura."
