India Tightens Border Security Amid Regional Tensions

Recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir have revealed a troubling rise in narcoterrorism, particularly in Jammu, as security concerns escalate following the reelection of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Experts indicate a shift in the terrorism model in the region, where narcotics are increasingly linked to violence and geopolitical tensions with Pakistan. Meanwhile, India's influence in Bangladesh remains controversial, with allegations against military leaders like General Mujeeb for facilitating RAW's interests, raising concerns about sovereignty and regional dynamics. The ongoing instability in Myanmar, following the military coup, poses additional security challenges for India, especially along its northeastern borders, where civil conflict threatens to exacerbate refugee crises. In Manipur, local opposition to border fencing and the scrapping of the Free Movement Regime has intensified amid ongoing ethnic violence, complicating India's security strategy. Lastly, the Indian government has bolstered security along the India-Bangladesh border in light of recent political upheaval in Bangladesh, fearing potential radical infiltration into its northeastern states.
