BGB-BSF meeting

No one except farmers will enter within 150 yards of the Bangladesh-India border in Rajshahi and Malda area.

The decision was taken at a meeting held between the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and the Border Security Force (BSF) at the conference room of the Sonamasjid BOP in Chapainawabganj on Wednesday.

The meeting reached an agreement to restrict access within 150 yards of the border on both sides, allowing only farmers in the area.

59 BGB Battalion said this in a press release.

The meeting also called upon people of both sides not to spread any rumor on any issue, the BGB official said, adding that from now on, the BGB and the BSF will deal with incidents like smuggling and illegal instruction together.       

Colonel Md Imran Ibn A Rauf, sector commander of the Rajshahi Sector of the BGB and DIG Arun Kumar Gautam, sector commander of the Malda Sector of the BSF, led their respective sides during the meeting.
