Security tightened as BNP's long march ends with rally at Akhaura
New Indian ExpressGUWAHATI: A Dhaka-Agartala “long march,” taken out on Wednesday by the members of Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s three associate bodies against the recent “breach of premises” of the Bangladesh mission in Agartala, ended reportedly at Akhaura in Bangladesh with a rally by the protestors. “We heard they were restricted there only,” the SP said, adding, “TSR, CRPF personnel have been deployed at the Akhaura ICP. We have set up an extra picket there apart from the BSF deployment which is there.” The incident of breach of premises of the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission had occurred on December 2 when a group of people, who came out under the banner of “Hindu Sangharsh Samiti,” were staging a protest against the atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. Later, seven persons were arrested by the police while the state government suspended three police sub-inspectors and “closed” a Deputy SP for alleged negligence of duty.
