A large crowd of Bangladeshi nationals has gathered at the India-Bangladesh border as political instability and violence intensify in Bangladesh. The Border Security Force (BSF) is actively managing the situation at Zero Point, a crucial checkpoint along the border.
The unrest in Bangladesh has driven many to seek refuge or temporary safety on the Indian side. Recent developments include widespread protests leading to the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The crisis has further escalated with Muhammad Yunus assuming office as the new head of government yesterday. Despite this leadership change, the situation remains highly critical.
At Pathantuli in Sitalkuchi, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, depicts a tense scene as the BSF works to control the crowd and maintain order. The force is ensuring the security and integrity of the border while managing the influx of people.
The Indian government, in coordination with Bangladeshi officials, is addressing the crisis and providing necessary humanitarian aid. The border region is under heightened surveillance, with ongoing efforts to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, with international cooperation playing a key role in managing the border and addressing the humanitarian needs of those affected by the crisis.
