New Delhi - India said Thursday that the border guards' mutiny in neighbouring Bangladesh was an internal matter and it was confident that the neighbouring country would resolve the situation amicably.

There is growing concern in India over the volatile situation in Bangladesh. The two nations share a 4,096-kilometre border

"As regards our border [with Bangladesh], the area is safe and secure," Vishnu Prakash, spokesman for India's External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

India put its frontier guards along the Bangladesh border on maximum alert on Wednesday following the border guards' mutiny.

"It is their internal affair. It's their problem and they are dealing with it," India's External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said Wednesday.

"It's not our practice to make comments on internal affairs of any country, especially a neighbouring country," Mukherjee said.

"We are confident that they will resolve the situation amicably," Prakash said in his statement. (dpa)
