Bihar CM Demands Centre-State Coordination to Curb Nepal Border Infiltration

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on [date] called for stronger coordination between the central and state governments to curb infiltration in the border areas along Nepal. The directive came during a high-level review meeting in Patna, where the Chief Minister emphasized the need for a unified strategy to secure the state's porous borders.

Choudhary also issued instructions to identify unregistered religious sites across the state and ensure that action is taken in accordance with the rules. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to maintain law and order and regulate unauthorized structures. Official sources indicated that district magistrates have been asked to compile reports on such sites within a stipulated timeframe.

The call for Centre-State coordination comes amid ongoing concerns over cross-border infiltration and its impact on security in Bihar. Political analysts suggest that the directive may also have implications for communal harmony, with opposition parties likely to scrutinize the identification process. The next steps will involve coordination meetings between state and central agencies to implement the directives effectively.
