The BSF has claimed that infiltration from Bangladesh has been drastically reduced to almost zero-level and expressed hope to stop it altogether. Outgoing BSF IG (Assam and Meghalaya Frontier) Prithvi Raj said at his farewell press conference in Shillong last evening that except for a few stray cases, infiltration has been brought down to almost zero-level. <br/> <br/>He said the BSF has also achieved very good success in expediting the border fencing project, which, if timely completed, will completely finish infiltration. Dwelling on some of the achievements of the force, the IG said around 710 illegal entrants and 55 militants were apprehended during his tenure of one-year-and-three-month. Besides, the BSF also killed two ULFA militants in Assam and persuaded 17 militants to surrender along with weapons and also apprehended 44 linkmen of various insurgent groups.<br/>
