The Border Security Force (BSF) has asked its Bangladeshi counterpart, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), to prevent illegal entry into India following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government in August. Since August 12, both border forces have held 722 meetings at various levels, the BSF said after the meeting of a special committee appointed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was held in Kolkata Thursday.

During the meeting, safety of minority communities in Bangladesh, especially in bordering districts, was discussed. “…BGB officials have been apprised to prevent Bangladeshi nationals from illegally infiltrating… The BGB has assured to take all steps for the safety of Indian citizens and people belonging to minority communities in Bangladesh,” BSF said.
