Bangladesh has deployed members of the Ansar and Village Defence Party (Ansar-VDP) alongside Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) at the Chapainawabganj border to prevent possible push-in attempts. The deployment began on Friday, June 5, and was officially confirmed by the Ansar headquarters through a statement on Saturday. Ansar-VDP members are now working jointly with BGB at several border outposts in the districts of Chapainawabganj and Gomostapur.

According to the Ansar-VDP, local members have been selected for their familiarity with the terrain and informal routes along the border. Under the supervision of the Rajshahi Range director and the Chapainawabganj district commandant, a special team of 33 skilled members has been assigned to assist BGB directly at border outposts. In Shibganj upazila, local Ansar leaders have also established direct communication channels with nearby BGB camp commanders to ensure rapid response to any suspicious activity.

The Ansar headquarters stated that heightened tension has persisted along the border in recent days due to fears of push-in from the neighboring country. The deployed teams are working day and night to maintain vigilance and prevent any untoward incidents.
