West Bengal Transfers Land to BSF to Advance Border Fencing Projects
West Bengal has approved the transfer of over 31 acres of land to the Border Security Force (BSF) to advance long-delayed border fencing and security infrastructure projects along the India-Bangladesh border. This move follows a Calcutta High Court order directing the state to hand over acquired land by March 2026, addressing administrative and legal delays. West Bengal shares the longest border with Bangladesh, making its cooperation crucial for completing India's border management efforts amid evolving security concerns.
