India boosts border watch with Bangladesh amid political unrest, no troop increase.

India has heightened border surveillance along its 1,880-km frontier with Bangladesh amid political turmoil following the August 2024 ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, though no additional troops have been deployed. Officials report no major infiltration or security incidents despite unrest in Dhaka and other Bangladeshi cities. Vigilance remains elevated in Tripura, Mizoram, Assam, and Meghalaya, with strong bilateral coordination with Bangladesh’s Border Guard. Indian missions in Bangladesh, including in Sylhet, have seen tightened security due to protests.
