Tensions in Indo-Bangla Border - 2003-01-31


Tensions are running high along the India-Bangladesh border with the two countries accusing each other of trying to expel nationals belonging to the other.

India says it has detained 213 Bangladesh nationals - including 65 women and 18 children - who it said were trying to sneak into India. Indian border guards tried to force the 213 people back into Bangladesh but Bangladeshi border-guards forced them back.

Bangladesh says India is trying to force Bengali speaking Indians into Bangladesh.

India called in a senior official of the Bangladesh High Commission to receive a statement outlining India's views on the issue.
