As the Indian government has not paved the road for a long time, four villages in Meghalaya want to come under Bangladesh. The Manipur-based online news outlet "FPSJ Review Arts and Politics" published a news item on Wednesday. According to the title of the report, the villagers of Meghalaya want to go under Bangladesh in the hope of a better life. The anger of the people of those four villages was also reported in the influential national daily Times of India.
Hingaria, Hurray, Lahalaine and Lasari - these four villages are home to 5,000 tribals of Meghalaya. Over the years, the roads in this region have become unusable and neglected. The villagers complained that the Indian administration did not respond to their repeated requests. Then recently they announced to join the movement. Not only roads but also mobile networks are not available in this area. There is no opportunity to get health care.
The Rambasis sat together in a meeting last Tuesday. There they decided to go under Bangladesh to draw the attention of the Indian government. "The lives of the people on the border are not important to any government," Kinzimon Ames, a local man, told reporters. We are only used to voting. If the government considers us to be truly Indian, then our problems should be fixed quickly. Otherwise the common man will have nothing to do.
We would also like to remind the readers that Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma had expressed concern over the use of Bangladeshi mobile SIMs by members of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) deployed on the Indo-Bangladesh border in 2016. He was of the view that this could jeopardize India's national security.
He said Indian mobile companies were fined as soon as their networks crossed the border and entered Bangladesh. And that is why Indian companies are not so keen on setting up their mobile towers in international border areas. As a result, our BSF jawans deployed at the border are forced to use Bangladeshi mobile SIMs due to weak network. But it is also a major threat to India's security.
However, the network of Bangladeshi mobile companies is also available at the Indian border. But in that case Dhaka does not impose any fine on those companies. Sangma added, "It hurts a lot when I see our soldiers from across the country using international calls (Bangladesh) to talk to their family members."
Meghalaya opposition MP Don Cooper Roy took part in the discussion. He said many people in the state of Meghalaya on the Bangladesh-India border are using Bangladeshi SIM cards for communication. That is not the fault of the people, it is the fault of the government. He called upon the state government to improve the communication system of the border villages first.
People in border areas use Bangladeshi SIM cards to keep in touch with their families because there are no landlines in those areas and the Indian mobile phone network is not good. "I know the matter is illegal but I also have a Bangladeshi SIM card," he added.
