Indo-Bangla border to have floodlights in 5 years
Alarmed by unabated influx from Bangladesh, the high-powered Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) has cleared a project to floodlight Indo-Bangladesh border within next five years. The project for floodlighting 2,840 km of the Indo-Bangladesh border is estimated to cost Rs 132.78 crore. The project is likely to be completed by 2011-2012, said Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Radhika V Selvi in reply to a Rajya Sabha reply.
