In a bid to streamline the surrender of Kashmiri youths from Nepal, the government is likely to deploy Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel along with Sashastra Seema Bal, a para-military force, along Indo-Nepal border.
The Union Home Ministry revived its year-old proposal of deploying the state police personnel to identify the people who want to surrender after the row over the arrest of Syed Liyaqat Shah who has been arrested by Delhi Police on suspicion of being a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist while Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed he was on his way to surrender, official sources said.
A high-level meeting chaired by Union Home Secretary R K Singh here decided that there was a need to institutionalise the Nepal route for surrendering of Kashmiri youths who had crossed over to Pakistan-ouccpied-Kashmir in 1990s, the sources said.
These men will assist the SSB in identifying the Kashmiri youth who have been using Nepal as an alternative route to enter into the Valley, official sources said today.
