Indo-Bangladesh Border: BSF Engages In Key Coordination Meeting With Local Villagers

In order to create a sense of security among locals at the India-Bangladesh border, the Border Security Force (BSF) held a coordination meeting in border villages on Thursday.

“We organised village coordination meetings at various villages located near border outposts to sensitize present situation in Bangladesh and other border issues in presence of prominent locals, Sarpanch and Pradhan in order to create a sense of security,” said a senior BSF officer.

On Aug 07, Bangladeshi nationals were observed gathering near the International Boundary (IB) in two sectors. These gatherings were prompted by fears of attacks by protestors within Bangladesh.

BSF personnel, demonstrating exceptional vigilance and proactive measures, swiftly responded to these situations, ensuring the security of the border and the safety of the gathered Bangladeshi nationals .

In one sector, efforts made by BSF, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), and local civil authorities to reassure and return the gathered individuals to their homes, approximately 35 civilians returned to their home. BSF has deployed additional forces to manage the situation effectively.

In another sector, a group of villagers from Bangladesh approached the IB, causing a brief commotion. BSF personnel promptly engaged with the group, and the situation was peacefully resolved without any adverse incidents.

The villagers returned to their homes, and BSF forces remain on high alert.

In another incident, a significant infiltration attempt was thwarted when a large Bangladeshi crowd was observed near the border. BSF personnel quickly mobilized and, with the cooperation of BGB, dispersed the crowd, preventing any violation of the International borders.

Contrary to certain rumours, the BSF clarifies that there is no widespread movement of the minority population from Bangladesh towards the Indian border.

The individuals gathered were primarily motivated by fears of local unrest. The BSF, in coordination with BGB and Bangladeshi civil authorities, has reassured these individuals of their safety and encouraged them to return to their homes.

The BSF North Bengal Frontier remains committed to maintaining border security and ensuring the safety of all individuals in the region.

Our forces continue to monitor the situation closely and are prepared to respond to any development.
