India issues high alert along Bangladesh border

Amid ongoing tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, intelligence agencies and security forces have been asked to maintain a high alert along the borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, reports indiatoday.

The agencies have been told to be extra-vigilant along the Bangladesh border in view of the actions by the Muhammad Yunus-led government and the increasing presence of Pakistan's ISI and Pakistani military officials there.

Pakistan is likely to use these radical elements, who have a support base in Indian areas bordering Bangladesh, to create trouble for India in case hostilities erupt between the two nations.

Indian agencies have been actively monitoring the situation along the Bangladesh border post the riots in Bengal's Murshidabad during protests over the Waqf law.

The violence in Murshidabad district, which borders Bangladesh, left three dead and hundreds injured. A report submitted to the Centre said that Bangladeshi miscreants stoked the violence.

The high alert along India's eastern border comes amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, which is fearing retaliation by New Delhi following the terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 dead._Agencies.
