India shares a 4096 km long land border with Bangladesh. What if the Bangladeshi military acts against India influenced by Pakistan or China or its own leaders? Given the current situation in Bangladesh, Pakistani terrorists or smugglers could exploit this border.
The India-Bangladesh border has several challenges, including vast forests, rivers, mountains, and marshlands. Infrastructure is limited along the border, and local resistance to fencing is common. This border also sees frequent minor disputes, human trafficking, smuggling of arms, drugs, and cattle. To tackle these issues, India has established numerous bases along the border.
