  On 8 January 2025, tensions flared at Shukdebpur village in West Bengal's Malda district as the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) faced off against the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) over a barbed-wire fence.

The construction of a barbed wire fence along the India-Bangladesh border has sparked diplomatic tensions due to several reasons. The fence, intended to curb illegal immigration, smuggling, and cattle rustling, has led to protests from Bangladesh, claiming that it encroaches on their territory. This has resulted in diplomatic exchanges where Bangladesh has formally objected to the construction, arguing that it violates previous border agreements. Additionally, there have been incidents of violence and confrontations between border security forces of both nations, further escalating the situation. The issue has also drawn attention from local communities and human rights groups, who are concerned about the potential for increased conflict and the humanitarian impact on border residents. The ongoing dispute highlights the complexities of border management and the delicate balance between security measures and maintaining good bilateral relations.
