Border security operations in Meghalaya’s India-Bangladesh frontier have been strengthened because of recent intelligence reports, together with the Pahalgam terror attack, which happened on April 22. Speaking as Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector General Om Prakash Upadhyay, he reports that Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) takes immediate action based on intelligence sharing from regular flag meetings.
The Border Guard of Bangladesh intensified its border operations after the August 5th, 2024, political transition in the country. The Border Guard Bangladesh executes security actions quickly based on the security information provided, which leads them to arrest both touts and illegal border crossers, according to Upadhyay. The BSF and BGB continue to share a collaborative relationship that is crucial for securing the border region.
Upadhyay pointed out his worry about the growing fundamentalist activity extending into multiple Bangladesh districts adjacent to Meghalaya. The number of extremist activities surged in Sherpur and other districts such as Mymensingh, Netrakona, Jamalpur, and Sylhet. The radicalization efforts against local border populations present a major threat to both national security and stability, according to him.
As a result of these developments, the BSF has increased its border presence on the 444 kilometers of the India-Bangladesh frontier that runs through Meghalaya. The security force maintains 27 active checkpoints with Meghalaya Police in their state-wide border surveillance duties. The coordinated border patrol operation demonstrates the united front of both forces in protecting their national border in its entirety.
Upadhyay declared that the force enhanced its operational readiness following the Pahalgam terror incident. The troops maintain steady readiness due to last year’s unrest in Bangladesh. Border security requires ongoing preventive actions to maintain peace throughout the border area.
