The Deputy Inspector General of Dhubri district inspected security arrangements on the India‑Bangladesh frontier, emphasizing vigilance amid cross‑border challenges.
The Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Dhubri, Assam, carried out a comprehensive review of security deployments along the 150‑kilometre stretch of the India‑Bangladesh border on Monday. The inspection involved senior police officials, border‑outpost commanders and local administrators, who examined patrol patterns, surveillance equipment and the readiness of border‑security forces.
According to statements released by the Assam Police, the DIG highlighted the need to strengthen vigilance in response to recent reports of illegal crossings and smuggling attempts. He instructed teams to increase foot patrols, upgrade night‑vision capabilities and improve coordination with the Border Security Force (BSF).
The review also covered community outreach initiatives aimed at fostering cooperation between border‑area residents and law‑enforcement agencies. Officials said that heightened awareness among locals can help deter illicit activities and provide early warnings of any security breaches.
No incidents were reported during the inspection, and the DIG concluded that existing measures are largely effective, while recommending periodic audits to address emerging threats.
The move underscores the state’s commitment to maintaining a secure and well‑monitored international boundary, a priority given the strategic importance of the Assam‑Bangladesh frontier.
