High Alert Issued Along India-Bangladesh Border Amid Turmoil

The Border Security Force (BSF) has issued a high alert along the India-Bangladesh border in response to recent developments in Bangladesh. BSF Acting Director General Daljit Singh Chawdhary and senior commanders reviewed security measures. Increased troop deployment and restricted civilian movement have been implemented to address potential threats.

The Border Security Force (BSF) has declared a 'high alert' across its formations along the extensive 4,096-km India-Bangladesh border following significant developments in the neighboring country. BSF Acting Director General Daljit Singh Chawdhary, along with senior commanders, embarked on an assessment tour of the front in West Bengal to evaluate the security situation.

Accompanied by top officers, Chawdhary visited the remote North 24 Paraganas district and the Sunderbans riverine area to review preparedness, the South Bengal Frontier spokesperson confirmed. The force has directed all field commanders to be 'on ground' and deploy all personnel on border duty immediately as part of the heightened alert status.

In light of recent events in Bangladesh, the BSF has escalated troop deployment along the Indo-Bangladesh border, according to a South Bengal frontier spokesperson. The border situation remains closely monitored, with troops maintaining vigilance. Leave for all personnel posted along the Bangladesh border has been cancelled in the last few weeks, reflecting concerns about illegal crossings and increased cross-border crimes.
