AGARTALA, Oct 15 (TIWN): With the surrender of 5 militants, once again the existence of NLFT has been proven as true. Already terror threats in state are high from NE based terrorists, and in this situation once again NLFT’s presence at neighboring Bangladesh has increased the tension further in Tripura.
State’s 158 unfenced border, the continuous illegal entrance from Bangladesh side has boosted the risks for terror attacks in Tripura. 5 NLFT extremists namely Bisurai Debbarma (33), Hiralal Tripura, Jalaksa Tripura (27), Rambadal Tripura (31), Kantamani Tripura (29) on Friday. During surrendered Bisurai Debbarma deposited one wireless set and some incriminating articles/ documents. However, earlier also many times many NLFTs were nabbed by BSF and many surrendered, but their presence at Bangladesh and existence at India till day is much prevalent. Sonamura’s 9.5 Km unfenced border and many loose border fencings have hit the law & order of state.

Sonamura border is considered as the most notorious area for illegal intrusion.However, North Tripura is also not less as all kinds of terrorists from NE zone, including foreign made drugs are also supplied fluently in Tripura via NE zone.

Bangladeshi fundamentalists are residing over North Tripura and also Bishalgarh Dist who are involved in various illegal activities. Frequently many fake-document holders are discovered in that area.

 In North Tripura there are so many Bangladeshi fundamentalists who have high links with international-terrorist groups. Their numbers are increasing day by day, as state Tripura has become their safe zone.

 Sources said that there are atleast 150 Bangladeshis residing over North Tripura. In Dharmanagar Botarshi area, in Dotubal area ateast 20-25 fundamentalists are allegedly living. Source also informed 3 names who are leading that group in Botarshi. They are : 1) Kajaudding, 2) Selimuddin, 3)Soweluddin Three of them are living with Indian Passport and doing fishing cultivation. Whereas Bangladesh is known for fishing cultivation, these people are living in such a hilly state saying they are doing fishing job in Tripura, which is just for name-sake.

 Taking the opportunity of police dept.’s negligence, Bangladeshi who are trying to sneak into India are rapidly increasing in number.

 In September 25, 2015, one Bangladeshi was arrested in North Tripura when Abhijit Saptarshi was the SP there, and accordingly he was sent to jail under the Indian Passports Act. The arrested man was identified as Sabuj Ahmed (25), son of Ruab Ali, a resident of Bhawanipur village in Moulavi Bazar district under Juri police station in Bangladesh, police said. Ahmed was detained by the BSF at theborder village of Yakubnagar in Dharmanagar in North Tripura. He was suspected to have links with a Bangladeshi fundamentalist group.

Sabuj Ahmed (in 2015) was suspected to have links with a terror group, an associate of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba active in India and Bangladesh. Terrorist like him are regularly travelling between the two countries for the last two years without valid documents. But surprisingly, Renu Miah, a resident of Sakaibari in Dharmanagar who gave Sabuj Ahmed shelter is roaming free.

The condition is worse in Sonamura Border area, under Sepahijala Dist.  Muslim fundamentalist are so much illegally residing at Sonamura that the subdivision is often called as the “Mini Pakistan” of Tripura. In this situation the unfenced borders of Tripura is increasing the threat of terrorism day by day.

However, under Tripura PWD supervision, the border fencing work is going utter slow, Central Govt. asked the state govt. to complete the unfenced borders soon.

NE based Bru terrorist are so high in number at Tripura. Assam rifles have arrested many, but Tripura police DGP is sleeping happily saying, there is no threat of terrorism.

According to Govt. data Tripura shares 856 km India-Bangladesh and 85 percent is fenced so far, whereas Tripura’s 727 KM border is fenced but long 158 km is yet unfenced.
