Not enough facilities: Enclave resident

Updated on Nov 22, 2008 11:32 pm IST

Thousands of families living in enclaves along the porous India-Bangladesh border lament that the steps taken by the governments on either side of the border are not sufficient enough to meet their development needs. Mostly located in the district of Cooch Behar of West Bengal, there are as many as 111 Bangladeshi enclaves, who fall in the Indian Territory and 58 Indian enclaves falling in the Bangladesh Territory. 40 thousand people inhabit these enclaves.
