Tripura fears influx from Bangladesh, VHP seeks Indian intervention to save Hindus

Agartala, Aug 10 (UNI) Apprehending a fresh exodus from trouble-torn Bangladesh, the Border Security Force (BSF) has stepped up vigil along the international boundary in Tripura, even as rights and religious bodies here demanded Indian authorities intervene to secure the life and livelihood of minorities in the neighbouring nation.
Sources at the border said a large number of Bangladeshi families and Awami League supporters have assembled on the other side of the wire fencing in different locations of Tripura seeking entry into India alleging atrocities and attacks on them over the week.
“Thousands of homeless minorities from in and around Dhaka, Patuakhali, Syllet, Srimangal, Brahmanbaria, Comilla, Noakhali, Feni and Chittagong have been moving towards the border along Tripura and Meghalaya and pleading with the BSF to allow them to enter India, but they have not been allowed,” said a senior state home department official.
