Bhutan is doing a very good job in terms of foreign relation but are we very secure being an independent country.Bhutan should not sleep considering the Border Problem and very porous border very much vulnerable to Militants(Nepalese and Bodo and ULFA,Islamic(Future),Iillegal tree felling ,inflitration and illegal immigrants.It is high time that we wake up and say to the Indian Leaders that we need to build a boundary wall and keep atleast No man land within 1 km raduis right from Tendu to Daifam so that inflitration does not occured Like Bangladesh Boundary Fencing and Pakistan.Threat will not come from China but from the southern border.Unless we built wall,Bhutan will not enjoy peace and prosperity esp people residing near the border.Wake up and say to the Government that we need boundary fencing.

Border fences and walls will hurt the wildlife esp. the animals that migrate. What we need are check posts with guards to keep a lookout and guard the core areas of town and residential places esp. in problem areas like the south.
