Shah Begins Three-Day Bihar Visit to Review Border Security, Infiltration in Seemanchal

Amit Shah reviews security and demographic concerns in Seemanchal and inaugurates key border infrastructure and development initiatives including Vibrant Villages Programme-2.

  • Amit Shah commenced his three-day visit to Seemanchal on February 25, 2026, spending the first night in Kishanganj district and the second in Araria district before returning to Delhi on February 27.
  • Motivated by concerns over alleged demographic and border issues, Shah focuses on alleged demographic shifts, illegal infiltration, and unauthorised religious constructions in Seemanchal, where Bihar's Muslim share was 16.87 and Kishanganj's around 68.
  • Shah will chair marathon sessions with District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police from seven districts, while district administrations and police deliver detailed intelligence presentations.
  • Officials note the immediate aim is to assess vulnerabilities, with Nityanand Rai and Samrat Choudhary present, as sources say the visit may strengthen the NDA government and intensify political debate.
  • The seven districts sit along the India-Nepal and India-Bangladesh border areas, with the Sashastra Seema Bal guarding the nearly 2,400-kilometre open border, marking a first-of-its-kind review at this scale.
