Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Thursday said sealing the Indo-Bangla border stretch in the state is a top priority of his government as the country’s security will be compromised if it is allowed to remain porous, reports PTI. “The matter has been taken up with the Centre in right earnest and the Army will be called in to construct the border fencing,” Sonowal said at the conference of the deputy commissioners and superintendents of police in Guwahati. He said the process of updating the national register of citizens (NRC) is critical for the state as well as the nation and directed the deputy commissioners and superintendents of police to complete the process meticulously and without any error.
