Earlier, BSF had taken them from Jagannathpur camp in India.

Rahanpur Union Parishad (UP) chairman Ansar Ali told that the people who were pushed-in people were captured by villagers at Kazi. They handed over them to BDR personnel of Charaldanga Border Outpost (BOP). BDR have taken them back to the border to push them back.

BSS reports from Rangpur: Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) foiled an illegal bid of BSF to erect barbed-wife fence within 70-yard from the zero line along Dinajpur border on Friday, according to BDR sources.

BSF troops of Kutubpur camp under 200 BSF Battalion hurriedly brought materials at 8 in the morning to erect illegal barbed-wire fence in between the boundary pillars of 304/3S and 304/4S, opposite Jalpaitoli outpost of BDR under Fulbari 15 Rifles Battalion in Chirirbandar upazila in Dinajpur.

BSF troops quickly erected the barbed-wire fence with trees within 70 yards from the zero line.

BDR strongly protested and asked BSF to attend a flag meeting to avoid further escalation of the situation along the borders.

Later, a company commander-level spot flag meeting started on the zero-line from 11 am on the day where BDR asked BSF to abandon the bid to erect fence.

Initially BSF did not agree to do so. But BDR clarified its position that no illegal fencing within 150 yards from the zero line would be allowed and BDR will be forced to resist such illegal works.

Under stiff opposition from BDR, BSF withdrew all materials within an hour along the border.
