The Assam-Bangladesh border has been a focal point of security concerns, with issues of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and smuggling. While the border has been reinforced in recent years, these challenges persist due to the porous nature of the border and limited manpower in some areas. The Indian government has initiated several projects to strengthen the border infrastructure, including fencing and surveillance systems.
Additionally, the Assam government is working with Bangladesh to enhance cooperation in tackling trans-border crimes. However, the problem is further complicated by geopolitical tensions and the concerns of local communities who feel threatened by the demographic changes brought by illegal immigration.
