In light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, police and security forces in Bihar have been placed on high alert. Heightened vigilance has been initiated along the state's international border with Nepal, with intensified patrolling reported in the border districts of West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Araria, and Kishanganj.
Additional deployment of security personnel has been carried out, and search operations are underway within a 10 to 12-kilometre radius of the Nepal border. Authorities have launched thorough vehicle checks amid concerns of possible infiltration, and suspects are being closely interrogated.
During one such operation on Wednesday, four Chinese nationals from Hunan province were apprehended at the Motihari border with Nepal. The individuals are currently being interrogated by the Special Branch and Intelligence Agencies, given the sensitive security environment.
