Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has intensified surveillance along the Dinajpur and Thakurgaon borders to prevent possible push-in attempts. The move follows reports in Indian media and allegations of illegal citizens being pushed into Bangladesh, which have heightened security concerns in the northwestern frontier. The Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB) has increased intelligence monitoring, patrols, and established temporary checkpoints at vulnerable points and river routes. Advanced surveillance tools such as night vision goggles, drones, and binoculars are being used to strengthen border vigilance.

BGB has also engaged local communities to enhance border security. Awareness meetings, public announcements, and direct communication campaigns are being conducted to discourage illegal crossings. Night patrol teams are alerting residents with whistles and flashlights, while small local vigilance groups have been formed to share information on suspicious activities. BGB officials emphasized that public participation is crucial for effective prevention of push-ins, illegal infiltration, and border-related crimes.

The Dinajpur Battalion commander stated that BGB remains uncompromising in preventing illegal push-ins and continues to take all necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty.
