Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) forced India’s Border Security Force (BSF) to remove a bamboo post that had been placed at the zero line of the international border in the Kolsir Muk area of Kuchlibari, Patgram upazila, Lalmonirhat. The incident occurred on a Thursday morning when a BSF team allegedly violated border laws by installing the post. Upon noticing the activity, local residents and a BGB patrol team immediately lodged a strong protest, demanding the post’s removal.

According to BGB sources, the Rangpur Battalion 51 issued a firm objection and instructed BSF to comply with international border regulations. Following BGB’s strict stance, BSF members admitted their mistake and removed the bamboo post. BGB officials reaffirmed that they remain vigilant against any illegal intrusion or breach of international law along the border.

Lieutenant Colonel Md. Najiur Rahman, commander of Rangpur Battalion 51, confirmed the incident and stated that BSF occasionally attempts similar actions but withdraws after BGB’s firm response.
