Dahgram remains in BD after historic land swap

The Dahgram-Angarpota enclave, barely 200 metres inside Indian territory, will remain in Bangladesh after the historic land swap between the two countries, reports bdnews24.com.
The swap of  162  'land islands'  between India and Bangladesh after Friday midnight ended one of the world's most intractable border imbroglio.  
 With this land swap, 111 Indian enclaves became part of Bangladesh's territory while 51 Bangladeshi enclaves became part of India. Candles were lighted and firecrackers blasted in the enclaves to celebrate the historic occasion. In the enclaves that became part of Bangladesh the national flags were also hoisted.
Despite the land swap the status of Dahgram-Angarpota enclave remains the same-though inside India, it will remain a part of Bangladesh.
Residents of this enclave are connected with mainland Bangladesh by a tiny strip of land in Indian territory, known as the 'Tin Bigha Corridor'.
The corridor was opened in 1992-for a few hours every day initially and then round the clock since 2011 in keeping with the provisions of the 1974 Indira-Mujib pact.
 Some people are raising voice over Dahgram-Angarpota. Their argument is it was an enclave, so it should be part of India.
 "But that's not the case. The 1974 pact clarified its status. The matter was resolved and it's a part of Bangladesh," said Delwar Hossain, who teaches international relations at Dhaka University.
 One such counter enclave is Chandrakhana, which is in India's Dashiarchhara enclave in Kurigram district and now a part of Bangladesh after Friday midnight. "Our problem was we were surrounded by Indian enclaves, but now it has become Bangladesh and it's solved now," Chandrakhana resident Md Rafiqul Alam told the news agency.
