Tensions Rise at Border:
For the second time in a week, Bangladesh guards have halted India’s efforts to build a cattle fence along the Coochbehar border in West Bengal. The fence, part of a 2012 agreement between the two countries, has sparked renewed tensions at the frontier.
Upcoming Diplomatic Talks:
The issue will be addressed during the director generals’ meeting of the two forces, set to take place in Delhi in early October. Both sides hope to ease the escalating tensions and find a diplomatic solution.
