Home Affairs Minister Nityanand Rai said in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that fences cannot be laid by 319 kilometers of rivers and inaccessible places on the international border of Indo-Bangladesh. Nithyananda Rai answered the question of whether micro-cameras were installed to prevent invasion in rivers and inaccessible areas.
With this, security personnel will keep an eye on incidents infiltrated by boats in rivers, he said. He said fencing cannot be done because land is not acquired in the 249km area. Fencing will be provided when the land is available.
From 2016 to 2019, 2,548 complaints were registered while the registered FIR was 2,104. Named accused 4,189. Of these, 4,072 have been arrested, 1,134 and 212 have been charged: Mass Home N.

Nithyanand Rai said that about 60 kilometers of fencing had not been taken as land was not acquired at the Indo-Bangladesh international border in West Bengal. There are infiltration efforts from these places, which BSF personnel fail.
There were a total of 2548 intrusions during 2016 to 2020, he said. To this end, a preliminary 2014 report was submitted and 4189 people have been nominated. Border Security Force personnel capture the intruders and hand it over to the state government, he said. The state government does not take stringent action, which results in fewer people being punished.
