In a violation of international border law, the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) attempted to construct a barbed-wire fence along the Bangladesh-India border. However, the initiative was halted after intervention from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local residents. The BGB has since increased its surveillance in the area.
The incident occurred near the Bhabanipur border in Durga Union of Durgapur upazila, Netrakona district. Upazila Nirbahi Officer Rezwanul Kabir stated that the issue may persist unless proper roads are constructed on the Bangladesh side. Ongoing bridge and road construction in the area has been complicated by disputes over sand extraction from the nearby river. With the monsoon approaching, local authorities plan to consult contractors and explore alternative routes to ensure safe passage for residents.
