Meghalaya Says Bangladesh Border Under Constant Watch as Agencies Stay on High Alert

Officials cite land issues, local resistance and court cases for the remaining 30–40 km unfenced.

Overview

Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said all security agencies are maintaining heightened vigilance along the 443-km boundary.
Border management remains a central government and BSF responsibility, with the state implementing precautionary measures and coordinating with Delhi.
A December 24 review with the BSF, Intelligence Bureau and state police assessed the situation, and monitoring has continued since.
Most fencing is complete, with unfenced stretches concentrated mainly in West Jaintia Hills and parts of South Garo Hills.
Authorities report no major cause for alarm at present, while the Centre closely tracks progress and the state expects pending work to finish soon.
