Amid ongoing tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, intelligence agencies and security forces have been asked to maintain a high alert along the borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, sources said.

The agencies have been told to be extra-vigilant along the Bangladesh border in view of the actions by the Muhammad Yunus-led government and the increasing presence of Pakistan's ISI and Pakistani military officials there.

Pakistan has been trying to strengthen relations with its Bangladeshi counterparts along with radical Islamist groups there.

Pakistan is likely to use these radical elements, who have a support base in Indian areas bordering Bangladesh, to create trouble for India in case hostilities erupt between the two nations.

Indian agencies have been actively monitoring the situation along the Bangladesh border post the riots in Bengal's Murshidabad during protests over the Waqf law.
