Despite cooperation by the Bangladesh government some insurgents of the state were using the soil of the neighbouring country, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said today.

"We have information that there are 18-19 camps of insurgents in Bangladesh though the present neighbouring government was cooperating with us so that the insurgents could not use their soil against India," he told reporters.

Sarkar, who also holds the Home portfolio, said the camps belonged to banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and added that the Tripura government has information regarding existence of camps of another outlawed insurgent outfit, All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF).

Noting that insurgency has not wiped out completely, he said there should not be any complacency that it cannot return.
