Summary
Irregular migration presents governance challenges that require coordinated security, legal, and diplomatic responses.
Analysis & Briefing
Evidence Research indicates that most irregular migration is economically motivated rather than linked to terrorism. However, weak documentation systems enable criminal exploitation. Policy Options Option 1 Expand physical border infrastructure. Option 2 Improve biometric identification systems. Option 3 Strengthen India–Bangladesh institutional cooperation. Recommended Actions • Deploy integrated border management systems. • Enhance intelligence sharing. • Expand legal labour migration mechanisms. • Increase prosecution of trafficking networks. • Improve border community development. Conclusion A balanced migration policy should combine effective security measures with regional cooperation and humanitarian safeguards.
