BSF intensifies vigil along India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya

Shillong, May 26 (UNI) The Border Security Force (BSF) Meghalaya Frontier has intensified its vigil across the 443.8 km long international border that the state shares with neighbouring Bangladesh to ensure that no cross border movement takes place during this pandemic period, a BSF official said on Tuesday.
“Attempts at trans-border violation by Bangladeshi miscreants have increased, which can be attributed to global lockdown and the resultant economic slowdown followed by unemployment. Bangladeshi nationals infiltrate with the intention to commit theft, mainly of forest produces like timber and wooden logs,” BSF spokesperson U.K.Nayal said.
“Besides, Bangladeshi nationals sometimes are involved in petty smuggling of liquor and other contraband items, taking advantage of the porous and unfenced gaps along the border. They exhibit aggressive gesture and are often confronted with BSF when stopped along the International Border,” he said.
