The visit is significant as the Union Home Minister will directly interact with Border Security Force (BSF) personnel deployed on the international border.
West Bengal shares an international border of approximately 2,216 kilometres with Bangladesh, the longest border shared by any Indian state.
According to local sources, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel allegedly attempted to push back a group of individuals trying to infiltrate into the country through the Sukhdevpur border.
"A force synonymous with fiery patriotism, the BSF has always upheld the honour of the nation and shielded the well-being of the citizens with Himalayan resolve and steely valour," Shah wrote on social media platform X.
The BSF today apprehended one Md Shakeel, resident of Panchagarh district in Bangladesh and seized four cattle from him.
The Union home minister said the final fight remained in some areas of Jharkhand, which he assured would be won soon.
The BSF jawans attempted to calm the crowd, but it gradually started moving closer to them, growing increasingly agitated.
In a joint operation of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and Border Security Force (BSF), three Naxals were arrested
BSF is persistently putting efforts to make society, drug-free by enforcing the rule of law and such seizures of drugs is a decisive step in this direction.
Shah's state visit will begin with offering the tribute at the statue of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore in Kolkata's Jorasanko Thakurbari on Tuesday morning.
