The hope for implementation of the long-pending Land Boundary Agreement with Bangladesh brightened up today with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declaring her approval for the deal, saying "the problem will be solved soon".
"A solution is being worked out for border enclaves. (I) hope the problem will be solved soon. We hope there will be a diplomatic agreement," Banerjee said at a programme at Dinhata in Coochbehar district, bordering Bangladesh, while inaugurating several state government projects.
Banerjee said her government would write a letter to the Centre requesting for an early solution to the problems of enclaves.
"Only implmentation of the LBA will not do, a proper rehabilitation package will have to be worked out and there should be also improvement of roads," she said.
"We want an early solution of the problem of the (border) enclaves. The relation between India and Bangladesh have been cordial and will continue to remain so (in future too). "We want people living in the enclaves to get their rights. I wish both Bangladesh and India stay well," she said.
