Villagers in Lalmonirhat’s Patgram upazila prevented Indian Border Security Force (BSF) members from taking Bangladeshi cattle near the Dhobalguri border on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred close to the 873 main pillar along the zero line, where the cattle were grazing. When BSF personnel tried to seize the animals, local residents intervened with sticks, leading to tension between the two sides.

According to local and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) sources, members of the Teesta 61 Battalion arrived at the scene after receiving reports of the confrontation. Their intervention brought the situation under control, and BSF personnel subsequently retreated into Indian territory. The area is now reported to be calm.

BGB’s 61 Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Syed Fazle Munim confirmed that the tension arose when BSF attempted to take Bangladeshi cattle from the zero line area.
