In a significant move to bolster security in Bihar’s volatile Seemanchal belt, Union Home Minister Amit Shah kicked off his three-day visit with a high-stakes review meeting in Kishanganj. Touching down at Purnia’s military airport amid rousing welcomes from BJP stalwarts, Shah wasted no time, proceeding to convene with top brass including Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and MoS Home Nityanand Rai.
The gathering included key figures like Food Minister Leshi Singh, BJP state president Sanjay Sarawagi, and administrative heavyweights such as Regional Commissioner Rajesh Kumar and local district heads. Discussions laid the groundwork for intensified border oversight.
Thursday brings Shah to Araria’s Letti border outpost on the Nepal line, where he’ll join a special security event before leading a comprehensive review at the district headquarters. Agenda items range from curbing illegal entries and monitoring demographic changes to enhancing surveillance and intel coordination.
Wrapping up on the 27th in Purnia, the visit emphasizes international boundary management amid rising concerns. Security is at peak levels, with layered police presence, vigilant intel units, and federal support blanketing key sites. This tour comes at a critical juncture, as Bihar’s border districts grapple with infiltration risks and strategic vulnerabilities, promising actionable strategies to safeguard national integrity.
