The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has called for public cooperation to prevent unauthorised border crossings.

In a message issued on Wednesday, the BGB requested assistance from all citizens to curb fleeing the country through the borders.

The BGB has provided two mobile phone numbers— 01769-600682 and 01769-620954—for the public to report any suspicious activities or attempts to cross the border illegally.

The call for cooperation comes in the wake of a noticeable surge in border crossings following the resignation and exit of Sheikh Hasina.
