In an effort to strengthen the security arrangements at the porous Indo-Nepal border and stop the infiltration of anti-national elements, SSB has installed close circuit and drone cameras on every route leading to Nepal, the officer said. Uttar Pradesh’s Maharajganj district shares an 84-km open border with Nepal.
Assistance from Nepalese security agencies is also being taken so that no anti-national elements infiltrate the Indian side, Singh said. The DIG said security agencies are on high alert and tight security arrangements have been made on the Nepal border in Maharajganj. ”Sashastra Seema Bal and the police are investigating suspicious people in the congested areas and dhaba alongside the border. Along with this, a strict vigil is being kept on the people and the vehicles passing through the Sunauli Indo-Nepal border with the help of the dog squad,” officials said.
Dog squads trained in detecting narcotics and arms have been deployed to check smuggling across the border, the officer said.
