New Delhi: The government has informed Parliament that there have been no reported infiltration cases along the India-China border since 2014. This statement underscores the unique security situation along the northern frontier, which has remained largely undisturbed despite tensions in the region. The revelation came in response to a question raised by two Trinamool Congress MPs and provides clarity on border management along one of India’s most sensitive boundaries.
While the northern border with China has remained secure, India’s other borders have seen persistent infiltration attempts. Since 2014, security forces have apprehended a total of 23,926 infiltrators along India’s borders with Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan. The India-Bangladesh border accounted for the highest number of arrests, reflecting ongoing challenges in managing the long and porous frontier.

Specifically, 2,556 were arrested along the India-Bangladesh border, 437 along the India-Myanmar border, 49 on the India-Pakistan border, and 78 on the India-Nepal-Bhutan borders. These numbers indicate sustained monitoring and proactive measures by security agencies to prevent illegal crossings and maintain national security.
Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, shared these figures in a written reply, emphasizing the persistent efforts of security forces to secure India’s frontiers. The data demonstrates not only the scale of infiltration challenges along the eastern and western borders but also the government’s transparency in providing comprehensive statistics to Parliament. The complete absence of infiltration along the India-China border highlights the effectiveness of security arrangements and surveillance mechanisms in the northern region.
