HM Shah begins three-day Bihar visit to review border security in Seemanchal; NDA leaders welcome move

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to begin a three-day visit to Bihar on Wednesday, focussing on border security, administrative preparedness and ongoing development initiatives in the state’s Seemanchal region, which shares proximity with Nepal and Bangladesh.

Reacting to the visit, Bihar Minister Ashok Chaudhary said, “He (Amit Shah) is coming to review our border areas with Nepal and Bangladesh because reports are coming that drug peddlers have become active from Nepal. Our resources are for our Muslims, not for Muslims of other countries.”

During his visit, HM Shah is scheduled to review security arrangements in border districts and hold high-level meetings with officials regarding issues along the India-Nepal border.
