Expressing deep concern at the directive issued by the Chief Minister regarding BSF at an administrative meeting in South Dinajpur district, the Governor wrote: “These are not in sync with law or the recent Union Home Ministry notification increasing the jurisdiction of BSF in the state from 15 km to 50 km.Your stance has sent disturbing signals and is potentially alarming for federal polity and national security.”

“In a state having an international border with Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, BSF and Central Armed Police Forces play a significantly well-defined role from the perspective of national security and containing illegal criminal activities.There is an obvious mend to generate bonhomie and not confrontation, cooperation and not combat, among these agencies and the state apparatus.”

“Towards this, appropriate sensitisation of the state apparatus is called for so that mutual confidence is bolstered, coordination and cooperation is enhanced among the various state and Central security agencies that need to work in tandem and togetherness.”

“This imperatively calls for, in public and national interest, that your directives, instructions as also stance regarding functioning of BSF in the state be revisited so as to generate an environment of harmony and cooperation.Given the critical and momentous significance of the issue, while expecting an early update, I am sure appropriate steps, as stated, would be urgently taken at your end,” Dhankhar concluded.

Banerjee instructed block development officers and inspectors-in­charge to stop BSF personnel from entering villages without permission on Tuesday.She retorted the exact same thing at an administrative meeting in Nadia, Thursday.

“There is one problem in your area,” Mamata said addressing the South Dinajpur district police officers.

“BSF personnel enter villages, threaten villagers.They are even seen in voting queues.See what happened in Nagaland.Sitalkuchi happened, recently three people were killed in Cooch Behar,” she added.
