India has ramped up border security with Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the political crisis in her country. Additional troops have been deployed along the 4,096km border. The Border Security Force (BSF) has been instructed to strictly control entry without valid documents. Train services and cross-border trade through Petrapole port are halted, and a night curfew has been imposed in Meghalaya. India is advising its citizens in Bangladesh to exercise caution and has suspended train services. The federal government is preparing to discuss the situation in Parliament amid concerns of potential spillover.
