Bangladesh Border on Alert Following BJP Victory; Citizens Barred from Approaching Border
Dhaka: Following the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) historic victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections, the Bangladesh government and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have gone on high alert. Bangladesh has explicitly prohibited its citizens from entering border areas.
Bangladesh has significantly bolstered security arrangements along its border with India. As part of these measures, additional troops have been deployed along a stretch of approximately 102 kilometers of the border, covering several districts including Jessore and Chapainawabganj. Patrolling, round-the-clock surveillance, and intelligence-gathering operations have been intensified.
BGB officials stated that a high alert has been issued to prevent illegal infiltration and to curb cross-border crime following the BJP's victories in West Bengal and Assam. Local residents have been urged to exercise caution and refrain from approaching the border line (Zero Line), particularly during the night.
Lieutenant Colonel Ghulam Mohammad Saiful Alam Khan, Commanding Officer of the Jessore-49 BGB Battalion, confirmed that additional security forces have been deployed in border areas such as Benapole, Raghunathpur, Shikarpur, and Sadipur.
Apprehensions are being voiced within Bangladesh that, following the establishment of a BJP government in West Bengal, the drive to repatriate illegal infiltrators could gain momentum. Consequently, a strict vigil is being maintained along the border.
This report has emerged from media outlets within Bangladesh as well as from border security sources.
