Indian police personnel have increased surveillance along the Nepal–India border in the bordering districts, including Bardiya, following recent explosions.
The special units have begun discussions with Nepali security officials in bordering districts to counter the rising threats of terrorism. Acting on directives from the central government, the Indian police team met Nepal’s Armed Police Force at the Kalabanjar post in Bardiya, emphasising the importance of joint efforts to prevent terrorist activities.
Harshita Tiwari, chief of the special police team from Mihinpurwa in Bahraich district, Uttar Pradesh, met Armed Police Inspector Sushil Pandey in Gulariya. Superintendent of Police Man Bahadur Shahi said both sides discussed measures to curb cross-border crime and terrorism.
After recent blasts in Islamabad, New Delhi and Dhaka, border security officials from both countries remain on high alert, Shahi added. The 31st Battalion of the Armed Police Force in Bardiya stated that talks focused on sustaining joint patrols, tightening security, and closely monitoring suspicious individuals. Bardiya shares roughly 83 km of border with India, much of it dense forest in Bahraich, increasing the risk of extremist infiltration, according to the APF.
