The Border Guard Bangladesh halted the Indian Border Security Force’s attempts to fence the borderline with barbed wire in the no man’s land in Joypurhat area on Sunday.
The international law does not allow constructing any such fence within 150 yards of the no man’s land. But, the BSF was installing the barbed wire fence just 10-15 yards away from the Bangladesh side of the borderline in Jaipurhat, the BGB officials said.
The BGB officials also said that they asked the BSF on Saturday not to work there, but the BSF started working on Sunday.
After a meeting with the Indian counterpart, the 20 BGB Battalion in Jaipurhat commander Lieutenant Colonel Nahid Newaz told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ· that the BSF assured them that they would not construct any fence in the area.
‘Our meeting was fruitful and the BSF will remove the constructed barbed fence in the area,’ Nahid added.
The incident was happened in the no man’s land between India’s Gayeshpur and Bangladesh’s Jaipurhat.
