Thousands of residents gathered at the Chakpara border area in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj after Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel suddenly turned off their floodlights on Friday night. The incident occurred around 9:45 p.m., prompting locals to rush to the border and remain there until about 12:30 a.m. amid growing tension.
According to local accounts, the BSF switched off the lights on the Indian side, which led residents to suspect a possible push-in attempt. In response to loud protests and shouting from the Bangladeshi side, the BSF later turned the lights back on. Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury, commanding officer of the 59th BGB Mahananda Battalion, confirmed that locals had gathered out of concern over potential cross-border movement and said that Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel were maintaining a strict watch at the Chakpara border.
Authorities reported that the situation remained under control, though heightened vigilance continued along the border area.
