Suggest solution to Indo bangla Border issues

[livingdead]

I would like bangladeshi members to offer some solutions to Indo bangla border issues. I am specifically concerned about BSF firing at people near border(Indian or bangladeshi), but I am unable to think of a practical alternative solution that will maintain the sanctity of border.

I would appreciate a constructive solution, rather than blaming BSF everyday, for doing what is has been told to do.

How about making some fake videos of bsf torturing bangladesis and bangladesi forces torturing indian civilians and floating them on net

increased fear causes decreased infiltration and smuggling by either side

jokes apart there should be a mechanism where regularly crossing civilians should be allowed to cross with some kind of pass and fine ..

The only solution is the increase surveillance by BGB so that Bangladeshis don't go near Indian border knowingly or unknowingly. I am for India giving military aid to BGB to do so.

Just one suggestion and that will end the whole problem And that is " STAY AWAY FROM OUR BORDER "

big fat fence... no cross border movement ... no problem

Let's see, with which country does India share the largest border?

Is it Pakistan? No.

Is it China? No.

Bangladesh? Yes.

Fencing may be a good way forward in theory, but are they going to fence the entire BD-Indo border? Electrify them? Mine that entire border area? Do they know how much that cost and the logistical headache to monitor every inch of the BD-Indo border 24/7? Even with the most advanced UAVs and satellite, it's not possible to track every single thing at the border.

Even the US still face problem of illegal immigrants from Mexico, and they have the best technology against which there's no equal.

People need to make a living. Everyone does. The cattle smugglers hope to cross over the border by evading government taxes. This way, they reap huge profits. This I do personally oppose.

Both the BSF and BDR have links with criminal underground organizations. And since cows don't exactly grow on trees, somebody must be supplying them to those very smugglers. This process is still ongoing, and I do not see neither government taking any action against this.

Another issue is the enclaves. This needs to be solved. The recent exchange resulted in India gaining more territory. And that caused any entity opposed to the AL rage over the whole issue.

Both countries should get a fair share of the enclaves. And not based on vested interests.

Wouldn't you say that taking down these networks and a fair exchange of enclaves are more cost-effective compared to fencing, electrifying, mining, all manner of electronic equipment, UAV surveillance, the entire BD-Indo border? That is a solution that only a madman can come up with.

Whatever India is doing on the border, it is largely their issue. But given that killing of unarmed Bangladeshis go on, it will not bear anything fruitful in the long term. And if there are indeed illegal Bangladeshis in India, then deport them. Bangladesh will have absolutely no problem with that.

People assume that that the current GoB is indeed an Indian puppet since none of the outstanding issues that are relevant to Bangladeshi interests are moving forward.

They can not close the border as Indians on the other side wont let that happen. Indians even threatened BSF that they will not leave the post alive if they interfere on affairs. BSF is very afraid. If they electrify the fence which i believe a good move but the Indians on the otherside will take the wire out of the fence and put it on BSF a$$. Yawkk

Please dont mix illegal bangladeshi with border crossing. Although both are related, but illegal bangladeshis dont face BSF in their day to day life.

The enclave issue should be sorted, I think Indian govt has to be blamed for slow movement on it(not bangladeshi govt, which has shown understanding).

I dont like the idea of not being about to manage one's border, one cannot stop the activity but, we should try to bring it under control.
Indo bangla border fencing came after success in pakistani border, but then we dont have much economic activity there, also the length is smaller as you pointed out.

BSF kills more of its people than Bangladeshis, the have the border there to stop Indians coming to BD other than Bangladeshis going to India.

I am sure bangladeshi leadership, even BDR understands the problem, but ordinary bangladeshis dont(or pretend they are saints and BSF is monster).
Felani would not have died if she and her father did not try to sneak into bangladesh using a ladder.
It appears extremely brutal (the picture showing a minor girl hanging), but please view it from security guard's point of view as well.
It is practically impossible to stop anybody crossing the fence at night.

 

[xataxsata]

Make a huge 20 feet + 5 feet electric fencing above it, a concrete wall along all of the border with motion detectors + alarms + CCTVs.

Then have Machans at every kms with armed guards (armed with rubber bullets + fatal bullets + chilli grenades) to monitor it.

It will solve the problem of:

- Illegal immigrants

- Terrorism

- smuggling etc.

We Indians do have heart and have our families. We don't enjoy killing of people but We dont have anything else to do apart from this.If Bangladeshis know the consequences of crossing the border illegally then why do they do it ? BSF is there to secure our borders.Really dont understand what BGB is doing there ? Why dont they stop their own people ? We are least bothered about the poor people of BD who do all this for their livelihood.We wont cry foul if any of the Indian got killed by BSF or BGB while crossing the border illegally.

Its money man money...

We have 7 billion dollar worth of legal trade with India along with another 3 billion dollar worth of illegal trades. Only Cows bring 1/2 billion dollar Indian trader's pocket.

Do you know how much money is that? Lets make it easy. 10 billion dollar means 55000 Crore Indian Rupees. Means 1/3rd of yur defence budget. Far exceeds the national budget of many bordering states. Let alone BSF budget. You understand these and how that kind of trade influce the livelyhood of bordering people? From truck driver to Thela Wala to Chae Wala to sumggler to industires.. You dont understand the gravity of it thats why you are suggesting some weired ideas of fencing or shooting.

Neither fencing nor shooting going to stop this kind of activities. Even if Bangladesh stops all its citizen to cross the border yet there will be Indians who will risk their lives. You cant enforce the border with iron hand what you did in PK border. People had less interest on the border in that segment. But in this side of the border its complete different story.

The best solution would be to cut all ties with BD and enforce a economic sanction from Indian side. Then people will not go close to border as they will have little incentive to do that.
