The escalating tensions between Bangladesh and India have led to Bangladesh summoning the Indian High Commissioner, Pranay Verma, to discuss the ongoing border disputes. This diplomatic action was prompted by allegations from Dhaka that India was attempting to construct fences at five locations along the shared border, an action seen as a violation of existing bilateral agreements. 

The meeting was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka, where Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary, Md. Jashim Uddin, expressed "deep concern" regarding the activities of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF). The construction of barbed wire fencing without proper authorization was highlighted as undermining the spirit of cooperation and friendly relations between the two countries. This issue was not isolated, as there have been previous tensions, including the killing of a Bangladesh citizen by BSF, which further fueled the need for dialogue.

Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma responded by acknowledging the understanding between BSF and Bangladesh's Border Guard (BGB) regarding border security measures. He emphasized the importance of a cooperative approach to combat crime and address challenges like smuggling and human trafficking along the border. Verma indicated that communication between the two border forces has been ongoing, suggesting that the fencing is part of broader security measures.

Both nations emphasized the importance of resolving these issues through dialogue, adhering to existing bilateral agreements, and maintaining peace and tranquility along the border. The upcoming BGB-BSF Director General Level Talks were mentioned as a potential venue for discussing these matters in depth. This situation underscores the need for both countries to engage in constructive dialogue to manage and resolve their border disputes effectively.
