<b>Bangladesh for stopping border fencing </b>
29 May 2004: The Indian foreign office has been alerted to a strange and dangerous request which could emanate from the Bangladesh foreign minister, Mohammed Morshed Khan, who his beginning his visit to India tomorrow, which is to cease fencing the Indo-Bangladesh border.
Over a third of the 4,894-kilometre India-Bangladesh border has been fenced, including some of the most âsensitive stretchesâ, and the remaining work will take till 2007.
Foreign-office officials expect Morshed Khan to argue with the Indian side, considering the Congress-led alliance government to be more âfriendlyâ than the previous NDA regime, that fencing will create chaos in Bangladesh because it will hurt border âtradeâ, which is a euphemism for mainly cattle smuggling.
Bangladesh has become the second-largest meat exporter after Pakistan in South Asia, and most of the cattle it slaughters to sell to the lucrative Middle-East markets is smuggled from India.
The foreign office asked for inputs for a response to Morshedâs expected request, and the intelligence agencies have painted back a grim picture of border arms- and drug-smuggling, training and movement of jihadis, and a flood of illegal migrants.
As many as fifty-five major cases of arms- and drug-smuggling have been reported on the Indo-Bangladesh border in 2003-2004, not including Bangladeshâs biggest haul of weapons in Chittagong Port recently meant for the ULFA.
Besides, terrorist-training camps on the Bangladesh side of the border have risen to 195, training being imparted both to jihadis and to North-East terror outfits like the ULFA, National Liberation Front of Tripura, and so on, in addition to a flourishing racket in faking Indian currencies, masterminded by Pakistanis operating out of Dhaka.
Illegal migration from the Bangladeshi side has also stepped up, with reports of Bangladeshi junior-school teachers taking up assignments in Assam because of the localsâ resistance to be posted to far-flung or flood-prone areas, and Bangladeshi junior teachers presently in the state number 12,000.
Bangladeshâs objections to fencing were disregarded by the NDA government, which also went ahead with border floodlighting, but Bangladesh expects the present government to be more sympathetic, and so far, the Union home ministry has not committed its position to Morshedâs perceived request.
