Thursday brings Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Bihar’s Araria for a border-strengthening mission. First up: inaugurating the SSB’s new Letti outpost, a frontline asset in the India-Nepal boundary defenses.
Transitioning to Araria Collectorate, he’ll lead a comprehensive session with magistrates and SPs from seven bordering districts. Discussions will probe border dynamics, including updates on the Vibrant Villages Programme’s implementation to empower edge communities.
The agenda spills into Purnea on Friday for concluding reviews, wrapping up a tour launched Wednesday in the same city, followed by a Kishanganj review via air. Security is watertight, preparations flawless.
Viewed as crucial for administrative harmony in sensitive Nepal-Bangladesh proximity districts, the visit aligns with post-Naxal priorities: a robust anti-intrusion push in Seemanchal. Shah’s track record of regional visits cements the government’s developmental and defensive focus here.
