Imphal: President A P J Abdul Kalam left Imphal for Delhi after the end of his one-
day visit to Manipur on October 5, official sources said.
The President boarded a special aircraft of the Indian Air Force at Tulihal airport
at around 15:45 hours (IST).
Meanwhile, Tripura's ruling Left Front has urged Kalam to put diplomatic pressure on
Bangladesh to demolish insurgent training camps on its territory.
In a memorandum to the President on October 4 night, the Front said diplomatic
pressure on the Bangladesh government must be mounted to demolish insurgent training
camps, flush out extremists from its territory and hand them over to Indian
authorities.
The memorandum demanded barbed wire fencing and increase in the strength of Border
Security Force (BSF) along the 840 km porous Indo-Bangla border to check cross-
border terrorist activities.
Adequate Central assistance as requisissioned by the state government to combat
insurgency must be extended including return of Army battalions withdrawn from the
state earlier, it added.
Meanwhile, the Opposition Congress and Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura
(INPT) in another memorandum to the President seeking his intervention alleged that
law and order in the state had collapsed with people having lost their right to life
and property and killing and kidnapping having become the order of the
day.
It also alleged that corruption and nepotism was rampant among the top brass of the
Tripura government.
