Border Security Force is reportedly assessing a proposal to deploy venomous snakes and crocodiles along unfenced stretches of the India–Bangladesh border where terrain makes fencing difficult. The 4,096-km border remains about 20% incomplete, with 175 km unsuitable due to marshy, flood-prone conditions. An internal memo, linked to directions from Amit Shah, asked field units to evaluate feasibility and risks. Officials flagged safety concerns for local communities and logistical challenges. The move comes amid heightened border security measures under Narendra Modi’s government, alongside criticism from rights groups over its handling of migration and alleged targeting of minorities.
