Meghalaya Government Moves to Curb Bangladesh Infiltration, BSF Orders Heightened Patrols on Unfenced Border Sections

Meghalaya's state government has announced that it is making progress in curbing illegal infiltration from Bangladesh. In a recent briefing, officials highlighted coordinated efforts with the Border Security Force (BSF) to tighten security along the portions of the international boundary that lack physical fencing.

The BSF has been instructed to intensify its vigilance, increase patrol frequency, and deploy additional personnel on the unfenced stretches. Authorities said these measures aim to deter cross‑border movement of unauthorized individuals and prevent related criminal activities.

State officials, citing the statements of senior administrator Tynsong, emphasized that the strategy combines surveillance technology, community reporting mechanisms, and rapid response teams. While the government did not disclose exact numbers of personnel or resources, it affirmed that the initiative is part of a broader plan to secure Meghalaya's borders and protect local communities.
