The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has initiated a special alert and public awareness campaign along the Sylhet border amid concerns over possible push-ins and illegal crossings from India. Late on Friday night, the Sylhet Battalion (48 BGB) conducted loudspeaker announcements in various areas under its jurisdiction, warning residents near the border about potential illegal entry attempts based on credible information.

BGB urged local residents to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The force also requested that no Bangladeshi citizens attempt to cross the border illegally. Lieutenant Colonel Md Nazmul Haque, commander of the 48 BGB Battalion, stated that the awareness campaign is being carried out continuously through different border outposts. He emphasized that public awareness and cooperation are crucial for strengthening border security.

According to the BGB, operations and intelligence activities to curb illegal push-ins, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and goods trafficking are ongoing in the region.
