A tense standoff reportedly unfolded along the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya's South West Garo Hills district after Bangladeshi authorities allegedly refused to accept a Bangladeshi national who was intercepted near the frontier, leaving the man stranded in no-man's land and triggering heated exchanges between border forces.
In response to a recent armed robbery targeting residents of Umniuh Tmar, Deputy Chief Minister incharge Home (Police) Prestone Tynsong has announced that the state government has ordered the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Meghalaya Police to intensify patrolling and strengthen security along the 444‑kilometre international border with Bangladesh.
