After 70 hours of tension at the Panchagarh border, the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) removed 10 people, including women and children, from the zero line late Sunday night. The incident ended a prolonged standoff over an attempted push-in near the South Pradhanpara border of Harivasha Union in Sadar upazila. On Monday morning, the area was found empty, and both the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and BSF had withdrawn their additional personnel.

According to local sources, the group had been staying on farmland near the border since early Friday, enduring harsh weather without shelter. They reportedly lived under the open sky amid sun and rain as the situation remained unresolved. Locals said BSF turned off border lights around midnight and later opened the barbed-wire gate to take the people away.

Lieutenant Colonel Md Sirajul Islam, commander of the 56 BGB Battalion in Nilphamari, confirmed that BSF discussed the matter with BGB before removing the individuals around 2:30 a.m.
