{ "title": "New Border Fencing Design Under Consideration Amid India-Bangladesh Border Management", "article": "A new design of border fencing along the India-Bangladesh border is being considered by the Centre, said BSF Tripura Frontier Inspector General Aloke Kumar Chakraborty. The current barbed wire fencing, which spans over 4,096 km, has largely outlived its purpose, with Tripura's 856 km border being particularly affected by harsh weather conditions. Chakraborty stated that the proposal for improved fencing is under active consideration by the Ministry of Home Affairs, with plans to replace the old fencing soon. The aim is to enhance border management and ensure a secure environment along the international border. The BSF IG reassured that the situation along the border remains normal and expressed satisfaction with the cordial relationship between Indian border guards and their Bangladesh counterparts. Regular joint patrolling and special operations are being conducted to maintain peace and prevent any potential threats. Regarding cattle smuggling, the BSF has been taking proactive measures to address the issue. The force has been dominating the border haats and zero line, with recovered cattle being handed over to the Dhyan Foundation or local authorities for disposal. "
