BGB foils push-in attempts by BSF through river routes along Sundarbans coast

The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has foiled attempts by
the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) to push people into Bangladesh through
river routes along the Sundarbans coast in Satkhira.
The attempted push-ins took place
in the border areas under the jurisdiction of the Nil Dumur Battalion 17 BGB.
According to the 17 BGB
headquarters, from 8 June to the early hours of today (10 June), India's 74 and
77 BSF battalions gathered around 15-20 men, women and children and tried to
push them into Bangladesh through different border points, including river
routes.
The attempt failed due to the vigilance of the BGB, the
border force said.
Lt Col Shahariar Rajib, commanding
officer of 17 BGB, said, "No individual or group will be allowed to enter
Bangladesh territory illegally. Push-in attempts are being strictly
resisted."
"It is believed that they may
try again. The BGB is also prepared to resist such attempts.
"Patrols are being intensified
throughout the night along the border areas, including river routes. Through
announcements and whistles, the BSF is being informed that the BGB remains on
alert," he added.
