The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has reportedly attempted to push a total of 60 people, including women and children, into Bangladesh through the border points at Lalmonirhat, Panchgarh and Naugaon.
However, according to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), the attempts were foiled and the individuals were stopped from entering the country.
As a result, the affected persons are currently stranded at the Zero Line and no man’s land between the two countries.
Meanwhile, 28 people who were allegedly pushed towards Bangladesh through Bangabari border in Gomstapur upazila of Chapainwabganj are left in no man’s land after the BSF refused to take them back.

Earlier, in a press release issued on Thursday, the BGB said it had foiled 10 separate attempts by the BSF to push people into Bangladesh through different border areas within the last 24 hours.
According to the Border Force, at least 90 people were involved in the alleged push-pull attempts.
