A top police official in Tripura lauded the efforts of Bangladesh security forces in cracking down on militants operating in northeast.
The Director General of Police (DGP) of Tripura, K. Nagraj, said the state succeeded in neutralising several militant outfits due to cooperation from Bangladesh.
Of recent, Bangladesh has deported several outlawed militant leaders to India who had been hiding there.
"We can call it improvement or silver lining as from November Bangladesh security forces have been engaged in clearing militant camps along the border areas. The militants don't get to settle in those areas, they don't receive any support either from Bangladesh," said Nagraj.
Nagraj said Bangladeshi security forces have destroyed several camps of the banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition.
Nagraj also claimed that the crime rate in the state has come down significantly.
"In the past three-four months, some incidents took place in the fencing of the Indo-Bangladesh, including that also, this year, and extremism per se crimes, kidnapping and all have reduced as compared to 2013," he added.
