Agartala, Feb 3: After Bangladesh authorities started rebuilding an embankment which falls on the ‘zero line’ along the international border, the Tripura government will take up the issue in the upcoming meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission between the two countries.

The neighbouring country has been rebuilding the embankment on a massive scale at Alinagar in Moulvibazar district, close to Tripura’s Rangauti area, and some portions of the structure are on the ‘zero line’, triggering widespread resentment among the people in Kailashahar, a border subdivision in Unakoti district of the northeastern state.

According to official, the Bangladesh government has also “not taken the consent of the Indian authorities to rebuild the portions of the embankment which are on the zero line.”

He said the repair work was stopped following objection from the Indian side and the BSF was asked not to allow any work along the ‘zero line’ until the matter is resolved amicably.

The ‘zero line’ falls from the border pillar to 150 yards in the territories of both countries. Normally construction of any structure is not allowed on the ‘zero line’ but it can be done following mutual agreement.
