Tension Remains High in Bangladesh -Burma Border


With Burma continuing construction of barbed wire fences along its border with Bangladesh and mounting additional troops, tension has escalated between the two countries.
It is learnt that three BDR companies have been deployed in the Border Observatory Post (BoP) in Bandarban this week.

DG of BDR Major General Md Mainul Islam on Saturday said that the reinforcement of the BDR was made as part of its the reconstruction.
It should not be interpreted as any counter measure, he said adding that the recent increase of the incidents of infiltration and smuggling also prompted the BDR to take the action.

Local BDR commander Major Sazzad told newsmen that he also informed the authority about the situation.
"BDR remains alert to the situation. So far, no untoward incident has occurred" he said adding that the Burmese border forces were erecting fences on their side 100 to 150 yards from the zero point.
It is learnt that the Burmese border security force suddenly deployed additional forces along the border yesterday.
Earlier, Nasaka, the Burmese border force, started erecting barbed-wire fence from pillar No 41 to 45 on their side during the vacation of Eid-ul-Fitr.
