How Many Kilometres Of International Border Does Assam Share With Bangladesh?
Assam shares a total of 263 kilometres of its international border with Bangladesh. This boundary passes through several districts of southern Assam, including Dhubri, South Salmara-Mankachar, Karimganj, and Cachar.
This is part of the larger 4,096.7 kilometer India-Bangladesh border. The Assam–Bangladesh border is both land and riverine, with parts running along the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries. This border is of strategic, cultural, and economic importance, as it facilitates cross-border trade, cultural exchange, and connectivity between the two regions. It is also an area where the Border Security Force (BSF) maintains strict surveillance to manage legal trade routes and prevent illegal activities. The geographical positioning of this 263 km boundary highlights Assam’s role as a crucial link between India and Bangladesh in Northeast India’s international relations.
