In response to growing concerns about illegal infiltration and cross-border activities, the Assam Police have ramped up their border patrolling efforts. With the state being located in a sensitive region bordering Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar, Assam has long been a hotspot for illegal immigration and infiltration by insurgent groups. The police’s intensified efforts aim to ensure better surveillance, prevent cross-border illegal activities, and maintain peace and security within the state.
This move comes as part of Assam’s broader strategy to strengthen border security, curb illegal immigration, and tackle the activities of insurgents. The enhanced patrolling will involve better coordination between Assam Police, Border Security Force (BSF), and local authorities to monitor vulnerable border areas.
Details of the Operation:
The Assam Police’s intensified border patrolling comes after intelligence reports suggested a rise in illegal infiltration attempts along the state’s international borders. In response, the police have increased their presence in key border areas, deploying more personnel to conduct surveillance and intercept any infiltrators attempting to cross into Assam.
The patrols focus on both riverine and land borders, where smugglers and illegal immigrants typically attempt to enter. Special attention is being given to high-risk areas known for porous borders and lack of proper fencing. Drones and advanced surveillance technologies are being used to monitor movements along the borders, increasing the efficiency of operations.
In addition to heightened patrolling, joint operations with the BSF and local communities have been implemented to strengthen the security framework. These measures are expected to create a formidable deterrent for those seeking to cross the border illegally.
