If the Indian agencies are to be believed then West Bengal might be one of the most prominent states which Islamic State (IS) are targeting as their potential ground for recruitment of young people.They have not only opened the cyber route to encourage youths to join this banned terror outfit but they have made their physical presence in some of the bordering districts of West Bengal. The ministry ofhome affairs has also warned the state government several times and Union minister Rajnath Singh has mentioned that West Bengal is a potential threat for terror activities. However, the government is yetto open a cyber-cell for monitoring the terror activities in the state. In a meeting in the first week of August with DGPs of twelve states where West Bengal police chief G M P Reddy was also present,former Union home secretary L C Goyal had pointed out that Howrah has been one of the places from where curious youngsters have been closely following the activities of Islamic State and their outreach on social media.
