A senior police officer in India’s Tripura said the Bangladeshi security forces did a commendable job in smashing camps of Indian insurgents and helped contain the decade-old insurgency in the north-eastern state.
“There is no camp of insurgents in the state. The menace was contained due to the change of attitude of the security forces of Bangladesh against the Indian insurgent groups,” Tripura Director General of Police K Nagraj told reporters yesterday, reports The Shillong Times.
“Bangladesh Army, RAB and BGB conducted operations in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. In course of those operations, many camps of the Indian insurgents were destroyed and huge arms and ammunition seized,” Nagraj said.
“There are 245 border outposts in the state and efforts were on to intensify BSF patrolling in bordering areas affected by insurgency,” he said.
