Why is India turning to crocodiles and snakes to ‘fence’ Bangladesh border?

Indian officials have proposed introducing apex predators like crocodiles and venomous snakes into riverine areas along the Bangladesh border to deter undocumented migration and smuggling. The plan aims to address challenging terrain where fencing is difficult, particularly in marshy and riverine areas inhabited by local populations on both sides of the border. This move has alarmed human rights activists and wildlife conservationists in India.
