BALURGHAT: A seven-kilometre unfenced stretch along the 252-kilometre Indo-Bangladesh border in South Dinajpur's Kumarganj has emerged as a hotspot for drug trafficking and illegal infiltration, alarming law enforcement agencies.
Locals have questioned why the Centre is taking so much time to fence 7 km of the border.
On Monday, police apprehended an Indian national in Kumarganj for allegedly harbouring an infiltrator from Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi, identified as Robiul Islam from Dinajpur in Bangladesh has also been arrested. He reportedly crossed the border a year ago. He had been residing at the home of Khairul Mandal, a local from Jakirpur, who also employed him as a labourer in another state. Authorities recovered a fake Aadhaar card from Robiul during the arrest.
