The Border Security Force (BSF) of India took back 20 people, including women and children, from the zero line of the Chowka border in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj on Saturday afternoon. The return followed a flag meeting between the border forces of Bangladesh and India. The incident was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury, commander of the 59 Mahananda Battalion of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
According to BGB and local sources, the BSF attempted to push in the group of 20 people through the Chowka border area on Friday night. A BGB patrol team reached the spot and obstructed the attempt, leading the group to remain at the zero line. Two rounds of company commander-level meetings were later held between the two sides, after which the BSF took the individuals back into Indian territory.
BGB officials stated that the situation along the border is now normal. To prevent further push-in attempts, BGB has strengthened patrols and surveillance in the area.
