BDR foils bid to fencing border


The Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) foiled Indian Border Security Forces' (BSF) attempts to fence the border at two points in Ramgar on Wednesday and Thursday.

BDR fired one round of blank shot when BSF personnel on Thursday tried to fence the border near Ramgar. No casualty, however, was reported. Following the incident, a company commander level flag meeting took place between the two sides. Though the Indians at the meeting agreed not to proceed with the fencing, a tense situation has been prevailing in the bordering areas.

Earlier on Wednesday, BDR foiled another attempt at Kashibari border point under Ramgar.
