The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) repatriated 71 Myanmar nationals from 20 families who had entered Bangladesh illegally during communal unrest in Myanmar. These families lived alongside local hill communities in Naikhongchhari for over a year before being safely sent back through the Baishfari and Tumbro border areas. The BGB 34th Battalion has been closely monitoring the situation to maintain border security, prevent illegal entry, and combat smuggling and drug trafficking while upholding a humanitarian approach.
