Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam and the ongoing tensions with Pakistan, intelligence agencies and security forces have been instructed to stay on high alert along the borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, according to sources.

Officials have been asked to be especially careful along the Bangladesh border due to recent moves by the Muhammad Yunus-led government and the growing presence of Pakistan's ISI and military officials in the region. Pakistan has been working to improve its ties with both the Bangladeshi government and radical Islamist groups in the country. It may try to use these extremist groups—some of which have support in Indian regions near the Bangladesh border—to create unrest in India if tensions rise between the two countries. Violence broke out in Murshidabad district, which lies near the Bangladesh border, leading to the death of three people and injuries to hundreds. A report sent to the central government mentioned that miscreants from Bangladesh may have played a role in sparking the violence.

Due to this and growing tensions with Pakistan, India has placed its eastern border on high alert. The situation with Pakistan has worsened, especially after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. India is expected to respond strongly, which has made Pakistan nervous. According to sources, Pakistan has started moving its troops closer to the Indian border and has also put its navy on alert. Meanwhile, Pakistan continues to violate the ceasefire by firing across the Line of Control (LoC). This situation escalated further after Pakistan’s Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, claimed that the country had reliable intelligence suggesting India might launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours.

After the recent riots in Bengal’s Murshidabad during protests over the Waqf law, Indian security agencies have been closely watching the situation along the Bangladesh border. Pakistan quickly reacted the day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a meeting with the three service chiefs, gave the military "complete operational freedom" to respond to the attack on April 22.
