Indian officials have floated a controversial plan to introduce apex predators such as crocodiles and venomous snakes into riverine stretches along the Bangladesh border, to act as natural deterrents against undocumented migration and smuggling in places where erecting fencing is difficult.

In an internal communication dated March 26, India’s Border Security Force (BSF), which patrols international borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh, ordered personnel at its headquarters on the eastern and northeastern fronts to explore “the feasibility of deploying reptiles in vulnerable riverine gaps”.

The government’s latest move to fence the border with Bangladesh has alarmed human rights activists and wildlife conservationists alike in India.

BREAKING: Jihadis from Bangladesh's Islami Andolan took to the streets in Dhaka, issuing open threats to PM Modi & CM Suvendhu and warn of "attacking India" unless ousted West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is reinstated following TMC's heavy defeat to BJP in the assembly elections.

DHAKA: Bangladesh cannot be intimidated with "barbed wire", PM Tarique Rahman's foreign affairs adviser Humaiun Kobir said Monday as the new BJP govt in West Bengal in its first cabinet meeting decided to transfer land to Border Security Force (BSF) for fencing the border with Bangladesh.Targetting Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari, he said election rhetoric and actual governance are two different issues and "Bangladesh wants to see whether the Adhikari govt is following election rhetoric in governance". "People of Bangladesh are not afraid of barbed wire... Govt of Bangladesh is also not afraid; where we need to talk, we will talk," he said to reporters, days after foreign minister Khalilur Rahman warned Dhaka would take action if "push-back" incidents - forcibly evicting people - occur following change of govt in Bengal.
Humaiun said the Indian govt should adopt a more "humane approach" in resolving border security issues if it wants to strengthen people-to-people relations, adding that their (Bangladesh govt's) relationship is primarily with the (Indian) central govt. "We do not want to become involved in their internal politics," he said.On alleged "push-back" and killings along the border, Humaiun said Bangladesh would not remain silent if people continued to be killed along the border. "Bangladesh has its own plans and responses. I hope matters will not proceed in that direction," he said.

With independent infra and own means of controlling said infra, the neighbours can be thought to chart their own future instead of the current situation where they leech off indian resources and get publically peeved when the state of India does not take such parasites into account while making decisions for its future.
If there was ever a time for strategic depth in neighborhood, it is now a redundant concept as all regions are mere vassals to the great zog, so it's not like we are loosing a non-existent relationship.
