Guwahati, Oct. 29: Panic gripped people along the Indo-Bangla border
following stepped-up activities of Muslim fundamentalists in the area.
Recently, Dhubri district in Assam State (bordering Bangladesh) has
witnessed an increase of violence perpetrated by Muslim fundamentalists
with active support from Bangladesh, forcing the security forces to
review their ongoing operations.
In the second major attack within 48 hours, the fundamentalists ambushed
an Assam police patrolling party in Dhubri district on Sunday, killing
five police personnel and injuring seven. The police team had intended
to raid a militant hideout when their vehicle was fired upon, followed
by a major blast. The militants also triggered a powerful blast at Puja
pandal on Friday killing at least seven people.
Security had previously been reinforced along the Indo-Bangla border in
the wake of ongoing US attacks on Afghanistan. Official sources said
that several Muslim fundamentalists had managed to sneak into the state
and expanded their activities in the entire North East region of India,
aided by local militant groups.
The Indo-Bangla and the Indo-Burma border are said to be sensitive areas
because of foreign mercenaries' attempts to destabilize the region by
abetting terrorism. ?According to reports, several Muslim militants
groups are active in the region, and they said to be supplying arms and
ammunitions to the militant groups in the region?, the sources added.
More alarming still is the fact that the region has become a hotbed of
militants for which Border Security Forces (BSF) has been kept under
strict surveillance.
