Report of Review Committee on Cattle Smuggling and FICN along Indo-Bangladesh Border
A Sub-Committee has been constituted by the Government to examine the issues relating to the cattle smuggling and to suggest the measures to control the menace of cattle smuggling along the Indo-Bangladesh Border. The Committee is likely to submit its recommendations by 31st May 2015. No such committee has been set up to tackle the issues related to Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN). Since fencing in the riverine area of the border is not feasible, the Government is considering to deploy 3 more floating Border Out Posts (BOPs) in Sir Creek Area of Gujarat and 6 more floating BOPs in Sunderban Area of South Bengal for Border Security Force to monitor the riverine borders of the country.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Kiren Rijiju in a written reply to a question by Shri S.Thangavelu in the Rajya Sabha today.
