Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has intensified patrols and surveillance along the Lalmonirhat border to prevent illegal infiltration. According to a statement from the 15 BGB Battalion, intelligence monitoring has also been strengthened. The move follows concerns that Bengali-speaking Muslims in India have been labeled as 'illegal' and may be pushed into Bangladesh, raising anxiety among residents of nearby border villages.

Sources reported that special checkpoints have been set up at key and sensitive locations across the district to ensure border security. Day and night patrols have been expanded to prevent any unlawful entry or activities that could threaten security. The heightened alert also aims to stop potential infiltration following post-election violence in West Bengal, India.

Lieutenant Colonel Mehedi Imam, Commanding Officer of the 15 BGB Battalion, stated that the force remains uncompromising in protecting the border, combating smuggling, human trafficking, and resisting push-ins. Public announcements are being made in border areas urging residents to stay alert.
