Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local villagers jointly prevented multiple push-in attempts by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bokbanda and Jhaubari border points in Roumari upazila of Kurigram district. The incidents occurred on Saturday night and again on Sunday evening, when BSF allegedly tried to push several people across the border. BGB, supported by local residents, took a firm stance that forced BSF to retreat. To raise awareness and strengthen vigilance, BGB used loudspeakers in nearby villages.
According to local accounts, the situation along the border remained tense throughout the day. Residents claimed that BSF has repeatedly tried to create unrest in the area, recalling earlier failed attempts in previous years. A BGB official confirmed that patrols and joint watch efforts with villagers are ongoing to prevent any illegal entry, though poor road conditions are hampering rapid response.
Border residents expressed determination to resist any future push-in attempts, while BGB continues to maintain heightened alert along the affected frontier zones.
