Dhaka, May 11 -- West Bengal's newly formed government has moved swiftly to advance a border security plan, signalling early policy action from the new administration.

In his first cabinet meeting, the new Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said his government is going to transfer land to the Border Security Force (BSF) to erect a fence along the Bangladesh border.

On Monday, he said the land will be handed over within 45 days, according to the state-run DD News On Air.

This reflects a key election pledge by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
