Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) thwarted attempts by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) to push 33 individuals into Bangladesh through three separate border points in Lalmonirhat early Friday.
The incidents took place in the border areas under Hatibandha, Patgram, and Aditmari upazilas of the district.
According to BGB and local sources, BSF attempted to push 11 people through Barakhata BOP area in Hatibandha, 10 people through Paishattabari BOP area in Patgram, and a further 12 individuals through Durgapur Dighaltari border area in Aditmari.
Upon receiving information, BGB personnel rushed to the specified locations to take preventive measures along the border.
With the assistance of residents, the paramilitary force successfully blocked the attempted push-ins.
Sources confirmed that the individuals involved were unable to enter Bangladesh and remained in no-man’s land or zero-line area.
The media cell of Lalmonirhat BGB Battalion-15 stated that the force remains on high alert to prevent any further infiltration or push-in attempts.
Surveillance and patrols along the border have been strengthened, and the situation continues to be closely monitored.
“All necessary steps have been taken to safeguard the country’s border and sovereignty,” the statement added.
