Muzaffarpur, Apr 9 (UNI) A joint team of SSB and CRPF has been constituted to keep surveillance on the Indo-Nepal border in Bihar to thwart any attempt of the Maoists to enter into Bihar from Nepal.

DIG of Seema Shasatra Bal(SSB) S K Jha said that the decision in this regard had been taken at a high level meeting convened to review the security arrangement following the Maoists attack at Malangwa village of Nepal on April 6.
