Shillong (Meghalaya), Aug 7: BJP MLA Sanbor Shullai, visited the border outposts of Dawki Tamabil and Pyrdiwah in East Khasi Hills to assess the situation arising out of the current turmoil in Bangladesh.
The BJP team also held meetings with the DIG BSF and the BSF Commandant of the area.
The team was pleased to note the stringent security measures adopted by the BSF, wherein one soldier has been posted every hundred metres or less, making any kind of influx impossible.
The border guards have been bolstered by reinforcements of 21 Bihar Regiment of the Indian Army, vastly improving the security scenario.
The BJP team found the situation in the border areas to be peaceful, though there were reports of attacks on Border Guards Bangladesh posts on the other side, leading to the Bangladeshi troopers abandoning their posts.
However, the BGB is back manning their posts today, ensuring better security on both sides.
Sanbor Shullai also interacted with the people of the two areas who expressed confidence in the BSF. Shullai also assured the local residents of all possible assistance should any need arise. They mentioned that the situation was currently peaceful.
The people also expressed their gratitude to the BJP MLA , who they said, was the only elected representative to have visited the area since trouble broke out in Bangladesh.
Shullai will soon meet the Governor to appraise him of situation.
