India - Bangladesh Border

India and Bangladesh share a 4,096-kilometer (2,545-mile)-long international border, the fifth-longest land border in the world, including 262 km in Assam, 856 km in Tripura, 180 km in Mizoram,443 km in Meghalaya, and 2,217 km in West Bengal

The Bangladeshi divisions of Mymensingh,Khulna,Rajshahi,Rangpur,Sylhet and Chittagong are situated along the border.

A number of pillars mark the border between the two states. Small demarcated portions of the border are fenced on both sides.

The Land Boundary Agreement to simplify the border was ratified by both India and Bangladesh on  May 07,2015

Half of India-Bangladesh border fenced

Half of the 4,096-km border India shares with Bangladesh has been fenced. Land acquisition is a major challenge to completing the work by the 2019 deadline.

The border runs along West Bengal for 2,216.7 km, Assam 263 km, Meghalaya 443 km, Tripura 856 km and Mizoram 318 km.

The aim of the project is to curb infiltration and smuggling of cattle and fake Indian currency notes.
