Muhuri Char dispute: Permanent boundary pillars soon

FENI: Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Dr Gowher Rizvi said the temporary boundary pillars installed on the 67-year-old disputed Muhuri Char between Bangladesh and India will remain unchanged.
He said the permanent boundary pillars, demarcating the long-disputed Char in Parshuram upazila of the district, will soon be installed once the Indian parliament clears the matter (Land Boundary Agreement-LBA).
“This boundary is finalised. As per the agreement, permanent boundary pillars will be installed,” Gowher Rizvi said adding that ‘this is another big achievement of the Prime Minister.’
The adviser made the remark Saturday while visiting Muhuri Char which had triggered a dispute between Bangladesh-India over the control of more than 92.14 acres of land since 1979 as the issue remained unsettled even after 1974 , according to a news agency.
