Bangladesh’s Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has successfully thwarted 36 attempted infiltrations across the border following the West Bengal state assembly elections in India, according to Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed. These “push-in” attempts, as described by officials, were prevented by the BGB. Additionally, legal action has been taken against 2,369 individuals who illegally crossed the border since August 5, 2024. The Minister revealed this information during a session in the National Parliament on Wednesday, June 17th. Details regarding the nature of these infiltration attempts and the identities of those involved were not immediately available. The increased vigilance comes amid heightened concerns about potential unrest or movement of individuals following the election in the neighboring Indian state. Authorities emphasize ongoing efforts to maintain border security and enforce immigration laws.
