BSF Meghalaya Seizes Bangladeshi Wooden Boats along the Indo-Bangladesh Border
BSF Meghalaya successfully seized 19 Bangladeshi wooden boats in Jadukata River near Ghumaghat
On 29 July 2024, the vigilant troops of 193 Bn BSF Meghalaya successfully seized 19 Bangladeshi wooden boats in Jadukata River near Ghumaghat while the smuggler were attempting to cross into Indian Territory for collection of stone boulders and sand.
The swift and efficient action by the BSF thwarted illegal activities and ensured the security of the border region. These kind of special operations are indicative of the mission mode the BSF troops have adopted on the border. However, Bangladeshi miscreants often attempt to sneak into Indian Territory through riverine areas to steal stone and sand. In this regard, the BSF has lodged a protest with the BGB regarding the illegal activities by Bangladeshi nationals in Indian territory. The seized boats have been taken into custody for further handover to the Customs office in Dangar, East Khasi Hills district.
To maintain peace and tranquility along the Indo-Bangladesh border, a battalion commandant-level meeting was held on July 29, 2024, between the BSF and BGB to discuss issues related to enhancing border domination and vigilance. Additionally, simultaneous patrolling systems were coordinated, especially in vulnerable areas. All these measures are going to impact the border domination
