BSF Steps Up Patrolling Amid Border Fencing Delays with Bangladesh

The Border Security Force (BSF) has started forward patrolling along the India-Bangladesh border due to delays in fencing. The BSF is keeping a close watch on rivulets and jungles to prevent infiltration. In areas like Maldah and Sukhdevpur, the BSF faced protests from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) during fencing, causing delays. The work is still stalled in Maldah. In Coochbehar, the BGB also protested, but the issue was resolved with BSF intervention. Several border meetings have taken place to resolve these issues, and the BSF believes flag meetings will help restart the fencing work. The Centre prioritizes fencing the unguarded areas along the border. The BSF is also focusing on village coordination and increased electronic surveillance in vulnerable patches. Night cameras with drones are being used to monitor the border, and alarms are triggered if someone tries to cross over.
