The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has resumed barbed-wire fencing along the zero line of the Dahagram border in Lalmonirhat’s Patgram upazila. However, strong opposition from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) forced them to halt construction. A flag meeting between border security forces of both nations was held for half an hour on Saturday afternoon. According to locals, BSF had completed fencing most of the area between border pillars 3 and 8 late on Friday night, leaving a 3-5 yard gap. In response, BGB has increased patrols and lodged an official protest. BSF officials claim the fencing was constructed in coordination with local district authorities.
