The Centre has asked the state government to find out if there were any chances of ethnic violence in the Hills post the second tripartite meeting due in November-end.
Sources said the ministry of home affairs has information that there could be large-scale violence in the Hills following the second tripartite meeting, which is likely to be held between November 26 and 28. The MHA fears that the meeting might fail and lead to intense clashes.
“The report must be filed on a priority basis, because the tripartite meeting is nearing,” said a senior official at Writers’ Buildings. The state home department has therefore, already started its investigations. The IB has informed its state counterpart that quite a few foreign hands are supporting those involved in the ongoing agitation in the Hills.
The home ministry wants the state to step up vigil on army installations located along National Highways 31A, 31 and 55 - specifically on Binaguri, Kalimpong and Sukna points and the Mountain Division in Sikkim. It fears that an outbreak of trouble in the Hills and the Dooars may affect the movement of security forces.
