On Thursday night, Indian BSF personnel attempted to dig a canal in the no-man’s land at Parshuram in Feni amid heavy rain and storms. Locals and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) intervened, forcing them to retreat. Witnesses reported that BSF had brought in excavators and equipment and began digging about 20–30 yards inside the border. UNO Arifur Rahman stated that the attempt aimed to divert water into Bangladesh by cutting hillocks on the Indian side.
