Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s three-day Bihar visit, launching February 25, promises a security overhaul in Seemanchal. He’ll convene DMs and SPs across seven districts to confront demographic flux and border vulnerabilities, galvanizing state machinery into action.
Key stops include Araria, Kishanganj, and Purnea, targeting Indo-Nepal edge villages. Directives will hone infiltrator detection, captures, and clearances of illegal border constructions. Samrat Choudhary’s orders have sparked a preparation frenzy among officials.
Aspirational yet pragmatic, the tour eyes an ‘infiltration-free’ Seemanchal, building on Naxal victories through integrated security-development thrusts. Anticipate Vibrant Villages reviews, powwows with ministry heavyweights, SSB-BSF leaders, and ED teams to forge a forward-looking strategy with swift on-ground effects.
Administrations hustle: probing frontier defenses, energizing surveillance, assembling project dossiers from village councils up. With Muslim demographics soaring—68% Kishanganj, 50-70% in Araria-Purnea-Katihar versus Bihar’s 17.7%—Nepal-Bangladesh porosity stokes infiltration alarms. Shah’s thrust aims to neutralize threats, anchoring national integrity.
