Due to lack of border fencing across the border area Tripura has become the hub for transport of the prohibited goods. Indo-Bangladesh border is allegedly described as a "problem area for tomorrow". Recently it was found that, terrorists bombings in different places of India have indicated that militants are "freely using" the porous border to enter into India to carry out their heinous acts.
