Nepalese insurgents today burnt a wooden bridge connecting India and Nepal in Pitthoragarh district of Uttaranchal even as the three states of Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh decided to prepare a joint strategy to check Maoist violence from spilling over to the Indian side, police said.
Meanwhile, senior police officials of the three states and officials of intelligence agencies, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the Special Security Bureau (SSB), which is manning the Indo-Nepal border, met here yesterday to take stock of the situation.
District officials of Udham Singh Nagar district and officials from Nepal had also met recently at Khatima to discuss the situation arising out of the violence in the Himalayan country. Both sides agreed to share information and intelligence about Maoists at the meeting.
The Union Home Ministry has also taken note of the threat by Maoist rebels to send human bombs to India after New Delhi extended support to the Nepal government in its fight against insurgency.
