The Border Security Force (BSF) in Meghalaya successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt along the International Border in the West Jaintia Hills district on August 19. Three Bangladeshi nationals—two males and one female—attempted to cross the border with the assistance of three Indian facilitators.
