Army, BSF, CRPF, Bengal Police discuss intelligence sharing in Kolkata
Important people who keep a country safe met in Kolkata, a big city in India, to talk about how to work together.
The group included soldiers, border guards, special police, railway officers, and more.
Their meeting had a long name: the Intelligence, Security and Logistics Coordination Meeting.
They shared information with each other so that no one misses something important.
They talked about keeping the border between India and Bangladesh safe.
They also spoke about a special corridor of land that connects the northeast part of India to the rest of the country.
The state government has given land to build fences and new guard posts along the border.
Not long ago, the police arrested three people linked to a dangerous group, which is why sharing information matters so much.
Everyone at the meeting agreed that good coordination is the key to handling any problem.
They also want to be able to send people and equipment quickly if something goes wrong.
A joint Intelligence, Security and Logistics Coordination Meeting was held on Wednesday at the Bengal Sub Area headquarters of the Eastern Command in Kolkata.
Senior representatives from the Army, Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), West Bengal Police, Railways and other stakeholders participated.
The meeting focused on sharing intelligence and enhancing cooperation in security and logistics planning, including management of the India-Bangladesh Border.
Special emphasis was placed on defences along the strategic Siliguri Corridor, and the new BJP government in West Bengal has cleared land for border fencing and additional Border Outposts.
Officials stressed continuous intelligence sharing for pre-emptive action, particularly after the West Bengal Police STF arrested three people linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed.
