Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NEW DELHI, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- India says it is considering increasing the number of check posts on its borders with Nepal and Bhutan to check illegal migration.
"The Interior Ministry is planning to increase the number of check posts on Nepal and Bhutan borders as crossing these borders from either side does not require too much of paperwork or documents, people cross over the border freely," Interior Minister Shivraj Patil told Parliament Thursday.
Patil said that policing of the porous borders would be strengthened with the proposal to raise more battalions of Sashastra Seema Bal, a paramilitary force. He said the move was also aimed at preventing insurgent groups and Maoist rebels from crossing over to Nepal or Bhutan.
