The senior cops posted in north Bengal have been advised by the IB to conduct special surveillance in the entire north Bengal during the time when the chief minister will be there.

The alert has been issued in wake of recent surge in activities of KLO in the region where video and audio messages have been circulated by the banned outfit to different media persons.

There had been direct threats to the chief minister as well in the messages where she had been termed by the KLO leadership as one of the biggest hurdles for achieving the organization’s dream to achieve a separate Kamtapur state.

Recently, security has also been beefed up at West Bengal’s borders with Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan in wake of the renewed activities of the banned outfit.
