BDR foils another push-in attempt
BSS, Panchagarh
Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and frontier villagers foiled yet another push-in attempt by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) at Giragaon border of Atoari upazila in the district early Friday.BSF troops tried to push 21 Bangla-speaking Indian citizens into Bangladesh territory through Giragaon borders, BDR sources here said. On Thursday, 42 Bangla-speaking Indian citizens including women and children were pushed back into India within 40 minutes of their expulsion by the BSF into Bangladesh territory through the Ramzanpara border, sources at the BDR's Giragaon Company headquarters said. Hundreds of Bangla-speaking Indians have reportedly been assembled in small and large groups in the bordering Indian villages at different points along the northwestern border. The BSF are frequently moving these groups from one point to another especially at the dead of night in an effort to push them into Bangladesh, residents of the frontier areas alleged. A similar BSF attempt to push in 62 Indian nationals through the same border point was foiled last Saturday, BDR sources and frontier people of Panchagarh border areas said.
