Centre Forms Committee to Monitor Bangladesh Border Situation
In response to the volatile situation in Bangladesh, the Indian government has established a committee to monitor the Indo-Bangladesh border and ensure the safety of Indian nationals and minority communities in the neighboring country. The committee will maintain communication with Bangladeshi authorities and oversee security measures at the border.
Chair: ADG, Border Security Force (BSF), Eastern Command
Incident Reports: On August 7, Bangladeshi nationals gathered near the International Boundary (IB) due to fears of violence from protestors in Bangladesh. BSF intervened to manage the situation, ensuring safety and security.
Actions Taken: The BSF engaged with local authorities and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to address the gatherings. About 35 civilians were escorted back to their homes. Additional BSF forces were deployed to maintain order and respond to any further incidents.
The unrest in Bangladesh has escalated following the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and subsequent anti-government protests led by students. The recent attacks on Awami League supporters and minority communities have heightened tensions, prompting India to take precautionary measures at the border.
