New Delhi/Kolkata: The Centre has decided to change the deployment pattern of the security forces along the porous India-Bangladesh border, in a direct fallout of the Burdwan blast. Sources said the BSF, that guards this border, has been directed to prepare a detailed blueprint to ensure that the infiltration of subversive elements is checked.
This was conveyed by national security adviser Ajit Doval to West Bengal CM at his meeting with her on Monday.
Mr Doval, along with top security officials, including the heads of the Intelligence Bureau, NIA, NSG and senior home ministry officials, visited the blast site in Burdwan and then met the chief minister in Kolkata.
Sources said Mr Doval explained in detail to Ms Banerjee the need for the NIA to investigate the case as it had “large-scale international ramifications”, specially with Bangladesh, and thus had to be taken extremely seriously.
The NSA also told Ms Banerjee there was evidence to suggest that some IEDs made at the Burdwan hideout were smuggled across the border into Bangladesh by elements of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, as the terror outfit plans to take advantage of the “fluid political situation there”.
