The Border Security Force (BSF) has requested the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to prevent illegal crossings into India following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. The forces, in constant communication, have conducted multiple meetings and patrols to ensure border safety and coordination with locals.

The Border Security Force (BSF) has called on its Bangladeshi counterpart, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), to curb illegal crossings into India after the Sheikh Hasina government's collapse in August, the force announced on Friday.

The BSF emphasized its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the 4,096-km international boundary with Bangladesh and ensuring the safety of border communities.

Since August 12, the BSF and BGB have held 722 meetings at different levels. Following a special committee meeting in Kolkata, the forces reported 1,367 simultaneous coordinated patrols in vulnerable border areas.
