Border fencing begins in Siliguri subdivision as BSF gets 27-km stretch of land

Border fencing has finally started in Bengal's Phansidewa area after the state gave 27 km of land to the BSF. This long-awaited work aims to boost security along the India-Bangladesh border. Residents are relieved, with one saying, "Before, we couldn't even raise cows here." This move strengthens surveillance in a sensitive region.
