Only by increasing people-to-people contact India can address security related issues along the Nepal border, the SSB Director General said today.
"With the possibility of frisking every people along the border pockets not feasible, we must win the trust and confidence of people living in the border pockets," the Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) DIG B D Sharma said here.
For this the SSB would install toilets in the underdeveloped villages and distribute artificial limbs among the physically challenged, he said.
The SSB set up a toll free no - 18003453257 - on this occasion to enhance better interactivity with the local populace.
IG North Bengal Kuldip Singh was present at the press meet.
India shared 1,751 km border with Nepal.
Sharma said the Indo-Bhutan border was more peaceful but SSB were on vigil along both stretches.
