Push-in attempt keeps Jamalpur border tense
Thursday, 11 June 2026
Tension has flared along the Jamalpur border after an alleged push-in attempt by India's Border Security Force (BSF) left one man stranded in no-man's land, reports bdnews24.com.
A flag meeting held on Wednesday morning failed to resolve the situation, according to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
The incident took place around 5:00 am at Ramrampur border in Bokshiganj Upazila when BSF members from the Nandirchar camp allegedly tried to push a man into Bangladesh territory, said BGB 35 Battalion Commander Lt Col Hasanur Rahman. BGB personnel and local residents said they detected the attempt early in the morning and moved to block it.
Faced with their resistance, the 60-year-old man retreated to the zero line, where he has remained since.
Local resident Kamrul Islam said a flag meeting was held at 10:30am, led by an assistant director of Jamalpur 35 BGB and an inspector from the Nandirchar BSF camp.
But the BSF left without taking the man back, leaving him at the zero line and reigniting tension at the border.
