Six persons, including a woman and two children, have been stranded in the ‘no-man’s land’ of Rumari border in Kurigram for three days following a ‘push-in’ attempt.
Amidst deep uncertainty, 25-year-old Sumi Actor, trapped under the open sky, pleaded for help. She said to Prothom Alo, “If we must die, let us die, but please save my two children.” “If we are left like this for the next two days, the children will die.”
The group was spotted on the International Zero Line near Main Pillar No. 1060, Sub-Pillar No. 1 at Gaitapara border in Shulmari Union of Rumari on Tuesday (June 16) morning.
Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Indian Border Security Force (BSF) were seen maintaining alert position nearby.
The stranded people are surviving on minimal food and water provided by local residents.
