Bihar’s Araria echoed with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s ironclad commitment Thursday: every infiltrator will be pinpointed and ousted from India. Dismissing it as election talk, Shah called it the Modi regime’s steadfast mission, with implementation on the horizon.
At the ceremony for opening Border Out Posts ‘Leti’ and ‘Indarwa’ and e-launching SSB projects, Shah spotlighted the India-Nepal border road initiative. Spanning 556 km across 18 parts, 14 are finished, four accelerating toward completion – promising superior vigilance, public amenities, and developmental outreach to remote edges.
Shah lauded SSB’s role in protecting the Nepal border, rooted in mutual friendship. Yet, he sounded the alarm: ‘Vigilance is key; national adversaries might infiltrate via this path. Hone your gaze, fortify intel networks, and build rapport with border hamlets for vital ground reports.’
Unveiling a crackdown, he pledged demolition of all unauthorized occupations within 10 km of borders and systematic identification-deportation of infiltrators. ‘Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar bear the brunt of population alterations from this menace,’ Shah noted. He foresaw BJP’s victory in Bengal, with immediate focus on sealing borders and evicting intruders.
Turning to Seemanchal’s populace, Shah flipped the script: ‘Hold me accountable to this vow – I seek your partnership. Infiltrators undermine elections, pilfer poor’s entitlements, erode youth prospects, and threaten sovereignty. Seemanchal’s operation launches shortly.’ This pledge signals a transformative security shift.
