Nine Bangladeshi nationals have been stranded for about 40 hours in the no-man’s land along two border points in Roumari upazila of Kurigram district. They were reportedly pushed into the area by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) early on June 14 through the Goytapara and Mankarchar border areas. Six people, including two children, are at Goytapara, while three others are at Mankarchar. The group has been enduring severe hardship under open skies amid storms and rain. Despite a flag meeting between the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and BSF, no resolution has yet been reached.

Following the push-in, BGB personnel maintained the group’s position in the no-man’s land and tightened security in the area. Local residents and BGB members remain on alert due to heightened tension along the border. According to local sources, the stranded individuals include residents from Mymensingh, Sunamganj, Netrakona, and Mymensingh’s Haluaghat upazila.

The situation remains unresolved as of June 15, with the stranded Bangladeshis continuing to face extreme hardship and uncertainty about their return.
