When the news spread, many people monitored the situation from the border area throughout the night.
In a video posted on social media, a local resident can be heard saying, “We came here after hearing the sound of the village microphone. We are standing near pillar number 1080. Indian vehicles are standing in front of our eyes. There are many BSF members here. Locals have also come here to cooperate with the BGB so that no infiltration occurs. As a common people, we are with the BGB. We are standing with all our might to protect the border. We are not afraid of the barrel of an Indian gun.” Meanwhile, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has intensified special surveillance and patrolling in the border areas to prevent possible illegal infiltration, infiltration, drug trafficking and smuggling. In addition, the BGB is conducting additional patrols in various border areas of Dewanganj and Bakshiganj upazilas of the district.
