Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local villagers in Kurigram’s Roumari upazila foiled another push-in attempt by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) early Sunday. The incident occurred around 6 a.m. near the 1060 main pillar at the Bottola border, where BSF allegedly tried to push two children, one woman, and three young men into Bangladesh. BSF claimed the group were residents of Kangshi village in Bhaluka upazila of Mymensingh district.

Following reports of the attempted intrusion, BGB personnel and hundreds of local villagers took up positions along the border to prevent entry. Lieutenant Colonel Hasanur Rahman, commanding officer of Jamalpur 35-BGB Battalion, stated that BGB remains firm in protecting national sovereignty and border security. He added that surveillance and security measures have been further strengthened across the border area.

According to BGB, the force remains on high alert to prevent any illegal entry or subversive activity along the Bangladesh-India frontier.
