BGB resists 10 push-in attempts by BSF along border in 24 hours

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) said it has thwarted 10 separate alleged push-in attempts by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) across different frontier areas over the past 24 hours, while intensifying surveillance and patrol operations to prevent further incidents.

According to a BGB statement issued on Thursday (4 June), push-in attempts were reported along borders in Jhenaidah, Jashore, Joypurhat, Chapainawabganj, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh, Sylhet and Netrokona. In several cases, BGB patrols, supported by local residents, prevented groups of people from entering Bangladesh and forced them to return to the Indian side.

The force also reported intelligence indicating that several holding centres on the Indian side were accommodating individuals allegedly being prepared for push-in operations.

BGB said it had strengthened monitoring and maintained a high state of alert in vulnerable border sectors.
