While India and Bangladesh enjoy excellent diplomatic relationship, intrusion by armed Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) personnel at a village in Meghalaya has created tension along the international border.

According to reports, a group of BGB personnel on Saturday afternoon intruded into the Indian territory and stopped the construction of an internal road at Muktapur in Meghalaya’s West Jaintia district.


While the road was being constructed by the Muktapur Village Council, the villagers are confused as to why the BGB personnel had to intrude into their village and threaten them.

“Don’t understand why the BSF jawans allowed the BGB personnel to enter our village,” John Buam, a resident of Muktapur told Northeast Now, adding that the Meghalaya government should take up the matter immediately with New Delhi.

Sanjit Lakuna, another resident of Muktapur said villagers were shocked when the BGB personnel entered the Indian territory to threaten the villagers.

P.K. Dubey, Inspector-General (Meghalaya Frontier) of the Border Security Force (BSF) confirmed the report of BGB personnel crossing the zero line, and entering Muktapur village.

“They (BGB personnel) wanted to stop the villagers from constructing a road within the 150 yards from the zero line,” Dubey said, adding that situation along the border is under control.

All the Border Out-Posts (BOPs) along the 442-km long Bangladesh border is on alert, and there is no more scope for intrusion by BGB personnel, Dubey said.

However, villagers in Muktapur are worried that the BGB personnel may continue to terrorise them, and may even try to intrude at night.

The villagers said, on April 16, 2001, a battalion of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), the earlier avatar of BGB, had intruded into Pyrdiwah, a tribal border village, located about 30 kms west of Muktapur.

The BDR personnel had occupied the village for more than 72 hours.

Later, the BSF had to mobilise huge force to push back the BDR personnel from Pyrdiwah village.

“Let us hope the BGB is not trying to repeat a Pyrdiwah-like adventurism in Muktapur as well,” Buam said.

As usual, Bharati toilet media is presenting here a completely one sided and manipulated story. Only covering the ignorant and ill intentioned villagers narrative, but did not bother to clarify why BGB had to cross the border. Those villagers were constructing road within 150 yards of zero line violating the international rule. That's why BGB had no other option but to cross and warn them not to violet the rule.

Still crossing IB is serious. It is good that we have stable relation, but this should have been handled by a diplomatic protest rather than an intrusion. Actions like this will only add to mistrust.

I agree, however, his main argument against Indian media article is true.

And, building a permanent structure within 150m the border is more serious. It is a prelude to wage war. A road is a permanent structure and unlike a building, a road makes troop movements easy. BGB had the foresight to see the future.

Why the panicky Indians are talking about Pirduwar, it is a different story. It was part of our (east Pakistan) territory since 1947 but Indian troops understood its strategic importance and captured it when we were in conflict with PA troops. BDR attacked the BSF camp and imprisoned 31 troops.

IA brought 5,000 troops against BGB's 500. The then PM Hasina made a quick compromise and ordered BDR troops to withdraw. But, this led to Baraibari border conflict whereby 400 IA troops entered BD territory to capture the BoP but were repulsed. The war took a heavy toll on the BSF side. This part is more famous than the former one.

None of the Bangladeshi posters actually know in details about the position of the Indian Khasi villagers on this issue, neither do they know that the 150 yards criteria comes with riders based on the numerous agreements since 68, 74, 2011 and recently under BJP. Muktapur has a long history of confrontation not only between India and Bangladesh forces but also between the ethnic Khasis of the two countries.

If anyone truly knew about the issue in details he wouldn't have brought BSF into this thing because they(Home ministry and Centre) are on the side of Bangladesh in this.

The war took a heavy toll on the BSF side.

BDR was cut down to BGB last time, in case of any future misadventures you will have boy scouts patrolling your borders.

If you are done with all the bravado stuff maybe you ll answer, why an attempt to solve diplomatically wasn't made. I think even a call to Local BSF commander would have halted the construction. India and Bangladesh are mature at Diplomacy lets not come to blows over miscommunication.

PS- Stories like the one you quoted are present dime a dozen in South Asia, it would be wise not to base your decisions and self-worth on these.

BSF were most probably happy that BGB did their job for them. This a is complicated issue that the Bangladeshis here probably don't have any idea about, and as usual BSF (considering how they treat the Bangals) is where they vent out their angst.

I don't expect you to understand the nitty gritty of border management and cooperation between India and Bangladesh, and tbh it was a pleasant surprise seeing your post without a cuss word in it. Thanks.

The latest Meghalaya incident says BGB can move inside your border with impunity. It was day time and your BSF was sleeping with an overdose of liquid. Was it a hangover? Actually, your BSF knows when to appear and when to disappear. Anyway, we also fondly remember how your IA troops were trembling with fear in 1971.

Let me just say that the boys of your BGB have been treated to plenty of sleep inducing liquid by our counterparts after the entire episode was done away with.

LOL, yep...thats why a bangladeshi was even allowed to sign the surrender document. Instead of not being even in the 3rd row of witnesses.....to old master signing agreement with new master. This is what you are in the end. Bunch of lackeys to be used and disposed of as needed....and in interim always beholden to some master who yanks on chain as needed.

Oh whats that, you wanted war tribunal for your 3 million claim? Sorry no can do....chanakya will transport those accused right back to pakistan and let your new leader (that you name everything after and vote 95% in his name for according to his dhobi lady daughter) do his BAKSAL and starvation genocide on your worthless behinds to take out his frustration. He had the right idea for sure....his people are indeed vermin infestation that needs to be controlled in number. He was great friend of you indeed.

Read the document of surrender. It was signed by the Commander of the joint forces. But, it does not say only 1300 of your ragtag troops were killed. Why so low? And why not 1.3 Lakhs? It is because we sacrificed our lives and the panicky IA troops supported us from behind. Go and read any war document and tell me if a war was ever won with only 1300 dead? Don't talk big with us when it has been proved historically that Indians piss in fear in the wars.

 

[Nilgiri]

It was signed by the Commander of the joint forces.

Who was an Indian. You already were such footstools.

And you can see who's standing behind him watching too. Not one of your worthless crapheads there.

The pakistanis just would not have that and we acknowledged that....given we both agreed just how worthless you are.

Each painting your 95% mandate dhobi lady PM recieves also confirms it so shamelessly, and she receives it all smiling....just like your people smiling as BCL does what they want to put your riffraff in their place as required.

It's also why both Pakistan and India didn't treat your crybaby 3 million claim seriously. We just sent all the POWs back to Pakistan....and then your mujib had to go and murder however many million of you by starving you to death and all kind of BAKSAL atrocities on top of it...so that there would be some "evidence". Then you lot call him bongabondhu still and worship such a cretin as a god. What can we call such a "people"?

But, it does not say only 13oo of your ragtag troops were killed. Why so low? And why not 1.3 Lakhs?

You know anything about any military matters? "Why not this big or this small?"...asks some typical peon that bravely and honourably fled to Japan as though it knows anything....like its "knowledge" of needle factories.

Listen.....others are not termites like your lot to strive for some huge number to "sacrifice" to "make sense" in some termite brain typical of your lot.

You know worst part about such BAKSAL genocide vermin? Complain endlessly like toothless whining widows about "3 million". Either you are proud to be a termite and "sacrifice" so endlessly for nothing (till someone that knows what they are doing does the actual job in the end), or you are not (and thus have to seek some weak "apology" or compensation as though your lives do matter?) ?

Pick one. Both cannot stand. But you are too shameless to see the irony of trying to hold both positions.

Just like first thing you do when you land on foreign shores is claim Indian identity for your smelly dingy "restaurants"....because you have nothing else for a termite brain to do.
