Bihar-Nepal border to be sealed from Nov 17 to 19

Owing to Constituency Assembly Election in Nepal on November 19, DM Aditya Kumar Das has ordered to seal the 114-km-long Bihar - Nepal border, through Thakurganj, Dighalbank and Terhagachh blocks in Kishanganj district, from November 17 to 19.

The decision was taken following a letter from Jhapa chief district officer (CDO) issued on October 28. The DM has also ordered rigorous checking of vehicles by police forces on both sides of the border to check any flow of arms and ammunition besides liquor. The border police have also been asked to keep a tab on the movement of nefarious and antisocial elements along the border.

Meanwhile, Purnia Range DIG Parasnath, talking to newsmen here on Wednesday, said police are taking all possible preventive measures in view of turmoil in poll-bound Himalayan nation where an indefinite strike has been called by Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists). Replying to a query regarding alert sounded by Bihar police in the wake of Patna serial blasts, the Purnia Range DIG said, "Though we are alert, there is no specific input from anywhere across the division about the antinational operatives."

As regards the spurt in sexual assault on minor girls as well as atrocities on women under Purnia division, the DIG said these incidents, more than policing, are related to the change in outlook and mindset of the society in these vastly changing times. "The parents and guardians will have to take a call in rearing up their children in this regard," he said.

The DIG, who came here to review probe into embezzlement and fraud in the slew of government schemes like MNREGA and Indira Awas Yojna (IAY), said the investigating officers ( IOs) and the SDPOs and others have been directed to peruse such cases minutely and scrutinize the evidences collected in this connection.
