India's concern over the political turmoil in neighboring Bangladesh is constantly increasing. The Bangladesh-India border is included. Many people from Bangladesh are waiting to come to India. They have been trying to infiltrate from the West Bengal border since Wednesday. But the BSF has stopped them. Seeing the intentions of the Bangladeshi people, the BSF is on alert mode and security has been increased on the border.
There is a 4 thousand 96 kilometer border between India and Bangladesh. States like West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram share borders with Bangladesh. After the current situation in Bangladesh, these areas have become even more unsafe. Security agencies are also aware of this and hence many restrictions have been imposed in these areas.
Security has been beefed up at the border where the threat is greater
Longthalai district of Mizoram, India is connected to Bangladesh and Myanmar. Strict restrictions have been imposed on the movement of people near the Indian border in this area. There is a complete ban on the movement of people within a radius of three kilometers from 6 pm to 6 am. Legal action will be taken against those who violate the order. This order will remain in force for the next two months. Three districts of Mizoram share the 318 km long India-Bangladesh border.
The Assam Chief Minister said that the situation in Bangladesh is a matter of concern for the northeastern states. He feared that the neighbouring country could once again become a hub of extremism and people from there could enter the region illegally.
Officials review security at the border
Security beefed up in Tripura
Apart from Mizoram, Assam, security has also been beefed up in Tripura. According to the BSF director, preparations have been reviewed on the Tripura-Bangladesh border. After the unrest in Bangladesh, the BSF has started intensive checking on the 856 km long border in the state to thwart attempts of illegal entry from across the border.
Alert in Bihar
Alert mode has also been kept in Motihari of Bihar. Motihari is connected to the border of Nepal. From where there is a possibility of Bangladeshi infiltration. In this, Bihar Police has ordered to remain alert in the border districts and villages. SSB has also been kept on alert along with Police. 24-hour surveillance has been asked. Apart from this, Bangladesh has been alerted to increase accuracy on the concerned border.
Wear it Intensely in Odisha
The Odisha government has started monitoring its 480 km long border to stop the influx of people from Bangladesh. The state is located about 200 km from the Bangladesh coast. Illegal migrants from Bangladesh use small boats. These people enter Odisha by canoe. Due to unrest in Bangladesh, many criminals have escaped from jail. Therefore, it is important to see that such elements do not enter India. The officer said that we have kept 18 marine police stations on high alert. All police personnel, navy, control room have been kept open.
