West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose made a significant visit to the Hakimpur border outpost in North 24 Parganas district on Monday, taking personal stock of the ground situation developing along the India-Bangladesh border. The Governor's inspection comes amid reports of SIR-induced 'reverse migration' patterns affecting the region.
First-Hand Assessment at Border Outpost

The visit included a comprehensive meeting with senior officials from the Border Security Force (BSF), where Governor Bose discussed security protocols and humanitarian aspects of border management. This high-level consultation took place on November 25, 2025, marking a proactive approach to addressing border region developments.
Train Journey to Murshidabad
Following his border assessment, Governor C V Ananda Bose opted to travel by train to reach Murshidabad district, demonstrating his commitment to understanding regional connectivity and transportation infrastructure.

The Governor's decision to use rail transport underscores the practical approach he has adopted in assessing ground realities across West Bengal. His itinerary reflects a comprehensive strategy to evaluate both border security concerns and internal regional connectivity issues affecting the state's relationship with Bangladesh.
The developments come at a crucial time when migration patterns along the Bengal-Bangladesh border are undergoing significant changes, requiring careful monitoring and responsive governance to ensure regional stability and security.
