BSF Thwarts Infiltration Attempts by Bangladeshi Nationals
Border security forces in India are stopping people from Bangladesh from crossing the border illegally.
In one area, BSF prevented 40 people from entering, and these individuals are now near the border.
In another area, police arrested five people who had already entered India illegally about a year ago.
Authorities believe the increased attempts to cross the border may be connected to political problems in Bangladesh.
