Guwahati, Sept 2 (IBNS): In a move to send across State Government's intent of zero tolerance against cross border movement from across the border, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Friday paid a visit to the Indo-Bangla border along Mankachar sector in South Salmara district.

Sonowal inspected the barbed wire fencing while travelling approximately 30 km border areas for three hours along the Mankachar areas and also took stock of the condition of fencing.

The Assam CM visited Sahapara Border Outpost, Kakripara, Jholachar, Diara, Asmer Alga, Kukurmara, Gudligaon, Deepchar, Sishumara Border Outposts and inspected the ground situations there.

Sonowal also inspected the erosion hit areas of Sishumara Border Outpost and vowed to take all measures for a foolproof fencing along the border. 

The Assam CM directed the BSF personnel responsible for guarding the Indo-Bangla border to maintain a strict vigil on 24X7 basis.

He also sought suggestions from BSF to fortify the existing fencing system wherever required.

Sonowal visited the border areas with 11 MLAs of BJP and alliance partners, AASU leadership including Dr. Samujjal Bhattacharya , DGP Mukesh Sahay, Home Commissioner LS Changsan and senior civil, police and BSF officers.
