Centre sets up panel to monitor situation on India-Bangladesh border, announces Amit Shah

New Delhi, Aug 9: The Narendra Modi government on Friday set up a panel to monitor the current situation on the Indo-Bangladesh border, Union home minister Amit Shah said.

“In the wake of the ongoing situation in Bangladesh, the Modi government has constituted a committee to monitor the current situation on the Indo-Bangladesh Border (IBB). The committee will maintain communication channels with their counterpart authorities in Bangladesh to ensure the safety and security of Indian nationals, Hindus, and other minority communities living there,” Shah posted on X.

The BSF has asked locals residing along the 4,096 km-long India-Bangladesh international border to not undertake unnecessary movement in the frontier areas especially during the night.

BSF officials told HT that the shops along the border have been asked to close down by 9pm.

While addressing the parliament, external affairs minister S Jaishankar had said that the government is monitoring the situation in Bangladesh with regard to the protection of minorities.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while congratulating Yunus on becoming the chief advisor of Bangladesh’s interim government had said,”My best wishes to Professor Muhammad Yunus on the assumption of his new responsibilities. We hope for an early return to normalcy, ensuring the safety and protection of Hindus and all other minority communities. India remains committed to working with Bangladesh to fulfill the shared aspirations of both our peoples for peace, security and development.”
