GUWAHATI: India's eastern sector, encompassing international borders with China, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar, is under heightened security and surveillance following Operation Sindoor against Pakistan and the need to ramp up preparedness for a multi-front threat.
A top security source said the current situation along Northeastern borders presents a complex security landscape where China's threat, while serious, is more about strategic encirclement and military posturing. By contrast, Bangladesh's ISI-backed terror modules appear to pose a more direct threat to Northeast's security due to proximity, historical precedent, and ongoing activities.
"Operation Sindoor has escalated tensions, creating a volatile environment where Pakistan may seek to exploit Bangladesh as a proxy to pressure India, particularly in Northeast," the military source said. The LAC with China remains calm but tense, with no major escalations since 2020 Galwan clash.
Meghalaya's West Jaintia Hills district administration Thursday imposed night curfew along the Bangladesh border, saying this stretch was unfenced and highly prone to infiltration by illegal migrants. These could include members of organised crime rings with links to anti-national elements, including militant groups, who could gather in large numbers near the border at night to continue their nefarious activities.
In Assam, police in all districts bordering Bangladesh have been on high alert."We are keeping watch. Earlier attempts by JMB ( Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh ), ABT ( Ansarullah Bangla Team ) modules to enter Assam have been broken," a top police official said.
