Assam: Terror threat as Bangla border washes away

July 02, 2012 18:09

The deterioration in the flood situation in Assam is posing a major threat to national security, as a portion of international fencing along the Bangladesh border here has been damaged due to soil erosion.

Reportedly, over 200 metres of the border fencing were damaged and a number of Border Outposts (BOPs) were shifted to safer places. Locals are leading for safer places in boats, as water has entered their homes and fields, destroying the stored paddy crop. The villagers have been forced to take shelter by the roadside as all their household items have been washed away in the flood.
