India and Bangladesh have long-standing border disputes, with the two nations sharing a 4,096-kilometer border that has seen numerous clashes and territorial claims over the years. A recent statement from Indian authorities has sparked controversy, with officials suggesting that they are willing to use extreme measures to secure their border, including deploying venomous snakes and crocodiles. The move is seen as a desperate attempt to deter illegal immigrants and smugglers, but critics argue that it poses a significant threat to human life and could have devastating consequences for the environment. As tensions between the two nations continue to escalate, the use of deadly wildlife as a border patrol tool raises serious questions about the ethics and effectiveness of India's approach.
India wants to the border with Bangladesh badly — even if it takes venomous snakes or crocodiles.
