Agartala, July 15: A joint coordinated patrolling will be conducted by Border Security Force (BSF) and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) along the borders to curb infiltration, exfiltration, smuggling and hostile activities.

It will be a joint 24X7 patrolling by both the forces to curb the border crimes.

Recently, a BSF-BGB Inspector General-Region Commander level meeting was held in Shillong, which decided to conduct coordinated patrol day and night along the borders to check all kinds of illegal and hostile activities.

Both border guarding forces exchanged the list of criminals involved in trans-border crimes and reached a consensus to take appropriate action against them.

The official said the nodal officers of both the border guarding forces were in regular contact with each other and sharing information of operational values.

He said that to reinforce border security, the BSF would use thermal imagers and night vision devices, install CCTV cameras, and utilise drones.

The official said that floodlights illuminate the area at night, and the border fence is being strengthened by employing improvised methods and intruder alarms.

BSF Commanders regularly conduct village coordination meetings to get support of the border population to prevent infiltration and trans-border crimes.

Company commanders also have ‘Prahari Mitras’ to consult and get help if required, the official added.

Four Indian northeastern states of Tripura (856 km), Meghalaya (443 km), Mizoram (318 km), and Assam (263 km) share a 1,880-km border with Bangladesh.
