  • This article discusses the complexities of border fencing between India and Bangladesh, highlighting the ongoing disputes and the challenges in implementing a comprehensive border management system. 

The India-Bangladesh Border:

  • Length: 4,096 km, the longest border India shares with any country.

  • States Involved: Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, and West Bengal.   

  • Guarding Force: Border Security Force (BSF) operates through six frontiers along the border.

Fencing Status and Challenges:

  • Approximately 78% (3196.705 km) of the border is fenced.

  • Uneven Fencing: Fencing coverage varies significantly across different frontiers. 

  • Some areas have over 80% fencing, while others have less than 50%.

  • Reasons for Disparities: Challenging terrain (e.g., riverine areas, chars), habitations close to the border, and resistance from border populations who fear losing access to their lands. 

  • The South Bengal Frontier, for example, has a large riverine stretch (Ichamati and Padma rivers), making fencing difficult.   

  • Specific Challenges: The article mentions difficulties in constructing fencing in certain stretches due to geographical challenges and local resistance.   

Border Fencing Protocol:

  • 1975 Joint Guidelines: Prohibits permanent or temporary border security forces or armed personnel within 150 yards of the identifiable boundary line

  • No permanent posts are allowed until final demarcation.

  • Fencing within 150 Yards: Requires mutual agreement between both countries if fencing is needed within this zone due to settlements.

  • Recent Disputes: Disputes have arisen where the BSF claims that the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) agreed to fencing previously (before August 2024) but are now retracting.   

Alternative Security Measures:

  • Technological Solutions: In unfenced areas, the BSF uses technological measures like floodlights, cameras, and drones to monitor the border.

Current Situation and Future Outlook:

  • The Indian government is pushing for the completion of fencing along the remaining stretches.   

  • Despite political rhetoric, the West Bengal government agrees on the need for border fencing. 

  • Despite disputes, border guards from both sides have maintained restraint and engaged in talks.

  • The BSF has increased patrolling and held numerous meetings with the BGB.   

  • Upcoming Talks: The issue of border fencing is likely to be a key topic in upcoming Director General-level talks between the BSF and BGB.
