The newly formed BJP-led West Bengal government, headed by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, has decided to hand over land to the Border Security Force (BSF) within 45 days to complete barbed-wire fencing along the Bangladesh border. The decision was taken at the first cabinet meeting held two days after the new government took office. Adhikari said the move was necessary to protect West Bengal’s security and prevent demographic changes in border areas.
Dhaka has strongly objected to the unilateral decision, warning that Bangladesh neither fears border fences nor will tolerate actions that could destabilize the country. Foreign affairs adviser Humayun Kabir stated that Bangladesh would discuss the matter with the appropriate Indian authorities and cautioned against any repeat of past border violence. According to international norms and the 1974 Mujib-Indira Agreement, no country may build permanent structures within 150 yards of the zero line without mutual consent.
The development has sparked debate in West Bengal, where critics argue that the new government is prioritizing divisive border politics over governance and development. The absence of ministerial portfolio allocations has further fueled concerns about internal discord within the ruling party.
