A high-level review meeting was held in Raxaul to assess security arrangements and development works along the India-Nepal border. The meeting was attended by East Champaran District Magistrate (DM) Saurabh Jorwal and Superintendent of Police (SP) Kantesh Kumar Mishra, along with officials from SSB, Customs, Railways, and other relevant departments. The primary objectives were to strengthen border security, remove encroachments, and ensure the timely completion of ongoing development projects.

DM Saurabh Jorwal issued clear directives for the immediate removal of any encroachments in border areas, emphasizing that such encroachments not only pose security challenges but also hinder development projects. SP Kantesh Kumar Mishra instructed security agencies to maintain strict vigilance at the border and take prompt action against any suspicious activities, particularly focusing on smuggling and illegal infiltration.

The progress of various ongoing development projects at the border, including road construction, bridge building, and other infrastructural works, was also reviewed. The DM stressed the importance of completing these projects within the stipulated timeframe and to high quality standards, stating that timely completion would benefit local residents and establish better connectivity in border areas.

Officials also agreed to enhance coordination with the Border Security Force (SSB) by increasing joint patrols and improving intelligence sharing. The Customs department was directed to ensure transparency in cross-border trade and curb illegal trade. Railway officials were asked to address security aspects related to railway tracks at the border. This high-level review aims to make the India-Nepal border secure and developed, thereby strengthening friendly relations between the two nations.
