BSF on High Alert at India-Bangladesh Border Amid Security Threats

BSF troops near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya are on high alert due to increased security concerns following the Pahalgam attack. Preventive measures are being enforced, and coordination with Bangladesh's border forces and Meghalaya police is strong, leading to successful interventions.

The Border Security Force (BSF) has heightened its vigilance along the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya, as confirmed by a senior officer on Wednesday.

Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the BSF is fully prepared, adopting rigorous preventive measures while maintaining a state of high alert, according to Inspector General OP Upadhyay.

The BSF's collaboration with Bangladesh's border forces is proving effective, with proactive actions taken by Bangladesh based on shared intelligence, resulting in arrests at the border.

Inter-agency collaboration is strong, with 24 checkpoints being co-managed by the BSF and Meghalaya Police, which has significantly curbed illegal cross-border activity.
