While addressing the SSB jawans in Araria, Union Home Minister Amis Shah indicated to adopt a strict stance on the issue of infiltration in Seemanchal. He said that the mission to drive out infiltrators from Seemanchal area will be started soon. Due to infiltration, there has been a change in the demography of the area, which cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
He told the soldiers that along with the security of the border, they will have to keep a close watch on illegal smuggling, narcotics and other criminal activities. For this, clear SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) should be prepared, so that the soldiers deployed at lower levels remain fully alert. He described the security of the open border as a big challenge.
Shah said that the people of Bihar were promised during the elections to drive out infiltrators and this is not just an election announcement. He clearly said that each and every infiltrator will be identified and thrown out of Indian soil. Action in this direction will start soon in Seemanchal area. Before this, Shah offered prayers at the Hanuman temple located in East Pali of Kishanganj. During this time, Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary was also present with him.
