"The number of camps belonging to insurgent groups from the North East taking shelter in neighbouring Bangladesh has come down to about 39," BSF Meghalaya Frontier IG Sudesh Kumar told PTI.
The number of camps of NE insurgents was over 100 five years ago, according to intelligence sources.
Kumar said the existing camps were not well-mechanized training camps but small sheds from where they operate and the list of their exact location have been given to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
The Rapid Action Battalion and the BGB have raided and destroyed several camps since November 2013.

Police checks has been laid in certain vulnerable areas in the city, the police said.
