PATNA/BETTIAH, Sept. 10 -- After the office of a sub-divisional officer was set ablaze and other government offices ransacked by protestors at Biratnagar (Nepal), close to the Integrated Check Post at Jogbani in Araria, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the central force guarding the border, has intensified its vigil as a precautionary measure on the second consecutive days. The state government is also monitoring the situation. As a result, authorities in border districts, including Araria, Kishanganj, Sitamarhi, and East Champaran are keeping a close vigil. People entering and exiting from Nepal and India are being frisked by SSB and Armed Police Force (APF), Nepal, separately in their jurisdiction. They were allowed to move freely after routine body frisking. The entry of trucks and other heavy vehicles has been restricted after violence erupted in Nepal. Officials at Jogbani Integrated Check Post said several trucks carrying goods remained stranded due to violent protests inside the Himalayan country. Personnel of SSB's 56th battalion have been instructed to closely monitor the activities of people coming to India from Nepal. SSB's second commandant, Sanjeev Kumar, told the media that he was personally monitoring the situation in Nepal and that patrolling along the border has been intensified as a precautionary measure. He added that people seeking medical advice are being allowed to cross the border and that the "no man's land" policy is being implemented strictly to avoid any untoward incident in Indian territory. A senior official of the police headquarters said, "We have started a door-to-door search at the border. Although there is no news of unrest on this side. However, we are alert. Contact is being maintained with the Nepal Police. The SSB is also alert. If any Indian faces any problem in Nepal, call the nearby district police control room, and we will help as much as possible." A large number of migrant workers on Tuesday forced to make a reverse journey to their native place on Bihar amid a widespread violence which erupted in Nepal this week. Located at a distance of about 230 km from the state capital, the Bharat-Nepal Maitri Pul at Raxaul, an East Champaran district town, wore a deserted look as a migrant workers reached the borderline in small groups covering a major part of their journey on foot with their family members including children in tow. A resident of Raxaul, Abdullah Ansari, who worked as daily wage labourer in Jeetpur described the situation pathetic in Nepal. "It took him and his family members a long and interior way meanding through the villages to reach Raxaul as the situation is quite volatile in Nepal and staying there isn't save from any stretch of imagination," said Abdullah, who was accompanied by his child, taking a sigh of relief. The situation at Shankaracharya gate, few yards away from Bharat-Nepal Maitri Pul acquired a poignant look as a large number of migrant workers, many of them on their way back to their native places in bordering areas of Bihar. "We all are returning to our native places," said the panic-stricken migrant workers in chorus, without bothering to stop and speak to media persons on the borderline inside Indian territory. When contacted, Mahesh Agarwal, state coordinator of Seem Jagaran Manch, an organization at the forefront agitation in Raxual said he along with the other on the border do not perceive any threat to the security in Indian territory. "But, the development in Nepal has begun impacting our businesses a great deal," he said....
