Northeast, August 24 — In a significant operation amid the ongoing flood crisis, the Border Security Force (BSF) in Tripura detained two Bangladeshi nationals who were attempting to cross the international border into India. The incident occurred in the Nischintapur area of West Tripura District.
Acting on specific intelligence, the BSF intercepted the duo on August 24th as they attempted to breach the border fence. The detained individuals have been identified as residents of the Chittagong district in Bangladesh. A preliminary inquiry is currently underway to determine their motives for attempting illegal entry into India.
The BSF has reiterated its commitment to preventing illegal immigration and has ramped up surveillance and border security measures in light of the incident. This apprehension comes at a time when the region is battling severe flooding, which has added to the challenges faced by the BSF in managing border security operations.
The detentions highlight the ongoing complexities and security challenges at the India-Bangladesh border, especially during times of natural disasters that can exacerbate such situations. The BSF continues to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding the border while addressing the humanitarian crises unfolding in the region.
