Increased trade and investment will need greaterconnectivity. Govts of India and China are keen to developKolkata-Kunming highway that will connect Bangladesh

and Myanmar with SE Asia. An economic boon for us.Similarly, once Akhaura-Agartala railway line is completed,Chittagong will have direct railway connection with thewhole of India's north-east. Kolkata-Dhaka steamer

service, as existed in pre-1947 can be restored.Both Govts had agreed not to give space to insurgents andterrorist outfits on their respective soils, work closely tocurb smuggling and human trafficking, Border killing; thevictims are often ordinary people living in border areas.Weneed to increase investment in border areas to create morejobs. Issuance of Special Border Pass for people livingwithin 10 km of the border to ensure safety, as well as deterillegal crossing of the border.
