Guwahati HC slams govt for Indo-Bangla border

Guwahati, Oct 2: Taking no seriousness over the border issue, the Guwahati High Court on Friday, Oct 1 asserted the Centre and the State government to take "immediate steps without any excuse" for complete fencing of the international border with Bangladesh.

"Such a step must be given priority keeping in mind the duty cast upon the Union of India to protect every State against external aggression and internal disturbance," Justice BK Sharma said.

Castigating both the Centre and the State government for the inept handling of the border issue, the court said nobody seemed to border about the protection of own homeland.

The court also added cases like infiltration, deportation in the state has increased compared to previous years.
