Terming human trafficking the "most heinous crime", BJP MP Akshaibar Lal said on Monday that the Centre is mulling the possibility of fencing the Indo-Nepal border to curb such illegal activities.

"It has been discussed in Parliament several times...like the fencing on the Pakistan border. Can we not have it here so that no one can make illegal entry?" Lal said.

He said fencing the Indo-Nepal border is necessary and the Centre is thinking about it.

Lal was speaking here at a workshop of 'Indo-Nepal stakeholders to end human trafficking' as the chief guest.

The BJP MP said, "Human trafficking is the most inhuman crime and should be checked effectively."
