BGB foils attempt to push 9 women into Bangladesh through Dinajpur border
Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) today (25 July) foiled an
attempt to push nine women into Bangladesh through Khiyar Mahmudpur border in
Birampur upazila of Dinajpur district.
A patrol team of BGB's 20 Battalion
prevented the group from entering Bangladesh around 4:00 am, said Subedar Tia
Alam, camp commander Bhaigor camp under BGB-20 Battalion.
After being stopped by BGB, the
women attempted to return to the Indian side.
But the BSF prevented them from re-entering India, leaving them stranded in the
zero line between the two countries, said witnesses.
BGB personnel remained deployed on
the Bangladesh side of the border, while BSF members took position on the
opposite side.
The nine women were seen waiting
under the open sky.
