The East Khasi Hills district administration in Meghalaya has imposed a night curfew from 8 pm to 6 am within a one-kilometre radius of the India-Bangladesh border’s ‘Zero Line’ for two months. This measure is taken under Section 163 of the BNSS to prevent infiltration by illegal migrants, militants, and smugglers. The curfew prohibits any movement attempting to cross the border illegally, unlawful assembly of five or more persons, carrying weapons, and smuggling of cattle and contraband goods. The administration cited porous stretches of the border vulnerable to illegal entries and warned that such infiltrations could disturb peace and security in the district. The curfew aims to stabilize the sensitive border region amid ongoing security concerns.
