With the view to curbing criminal activities along the India-Bangladesh border, Indian border guarding force BSF has introduced "anti cut-anti climb" fencing. According to BSF, anti-cut fencing has a long life, is stronger and economically better and no one can cut this fence or climb it easily. So, it will help the forces to deal with the criminals along the border. India shares a 4,096-km border with Bangladesh, 2,216 kilometres of which are in West Bengal.
