2001 Bangladesh-India border clashes

The 2001 Bangladesh-India border clashes refer to a series of violent confrontations that occurred in 2001 along the contentious border between India and Bangladesh. Tensions escalated due to longstanding disputes over land, illegal immigration, and cross-border terrorism. The hostilities primarily involved local populations and border security forces from both nations, resulting in casualties and heightened diplomatic strains. Amidst these clashes, the Indian government implemented measures to tighten border security and address illegal infiltration, while Bangladesh accused India of encroachments and human rights violations. The clashes underscored the complex challenges of border management in the region and highlighted the need for enhanced cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
