'B'desh silent on dismantling terror infrastructure'
Sunday, December 5 2004 11:10 Hrs (IST) - World Time

New Delhi: Despite India furnishing a list of 195 terrorist camps of various proscribed outfits operating in Bangladesh, there has been no response from Dhaka in dismantling them, a top BSF (Border Security Force) official said today (Dec 5, 2004).

"We have already furnished a list of 195 training camps to Bangladesh authorities which are located in their territory. But as of now it appears that they have done little to dismantle them and the terror infrastructure exists as before," BSF Director General Ajai Raj Sharma told sources in New Delhi.

Sharma said infiltration continues through the porous borders and the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) despite its efforts have by and large been unsuccessful in containing the same.

However, Bangladesh denies existence of any terrorist camps on its soil and instead has alleged that Indian soil was being used by those terrorist outfits outlawed in Bangladesh.

Sharma also came down heavily on the Bangladesh media for "its absurd reporting" on BSF mobilising additional forces on the Indo-Bangla border.

"In fact it is the other way round, we have moved some troops from this frontier elsewhere. What is intriguing is why they are publishing lies," he said.

Bangladesh is believed to be a conduit of arms supplies to various Indian insurgent groups. Weapons imported from third countries by sea to Chittagong and Cox Bazaar costal belts are ferried cross-country to places like Sylhet, Maulavi Bazaar, Habibgunj and Chittagong Hill Tracts where most of these camps are located, according to official sources here.
