Synopsis:
The
open border system between Nepal and India has affected peace and
security of both nations. Activities such as cross-border terrorism,
narcotics trafficking, arms and ammunitions trafficking, human
trafficking (esp. of Nepali women)have gone unchecked across the
borders. Policies such as mandating ID cards, fencing the frontiers or
strictly enforcing border protection will keep these unchecked
activities under control.
