Indo-Bangladesh Border Management in Meghalaya: Challenges and Strategies for a Secure and Sustainable Border.

Author(s) Mr. Beket Siangshai, Dr. Richard PG Jangamlong
Country India
Abstract The Indo–Bangladesh border in Meghalaya is 443 kilometers long and is seen as one of India’s toughest and most sensitive borders. The area’s rough land, thick forests, rivers, and close family and social ties between people on both sides make it hard to control. While much of the border is fenced, many sections remain open due to difficult terrain, difficulties obtaining land, local opposition, and insufficient roads or infrastructure. These open areas have led to cross-border threats and violence. This paper looks at why good border management in Meghalaya is important by reviewing major security problems and events, such as the Pyrdiwah clash of 2001, smuggling, rebel activity, drug smuggling, and recent violence in border villages. It also examines how ideas about borders and their management are changing. The paper argues that focusing only on security is not enough in this area, where people are closely connected. It suggests a balanced approach that includes better fencing and watch systems, working together to manage the border, involving local people, job programs like border markets, local government that includes everyone, and stronger teamwork with Bangladesh to help make the border in Meghalaya safe and stable.
