Dinajpur-The India border guards yesterday resumed erecting barbed wire fencing along their side opposite the Monipur camp in Dinajpur and BDR personnel resisted the efforts.Sources said the BDR jawans are performing their duties without high officials.Tension is mounting between Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and BDR men as India wants to exploit the worse crisis passing Bangladesh. Local people said 69 BSF Battalion of Amulia camp resumed constructing a ring road to erect barbed wire fence 150 metre inside no-man's-land at Kamdevpur village under the camp on Saturday. But in the face of strong opposition by 40 BDR Battalion, the Indian border force stopped the work. But BSF men again started their activity with heavy machinery, including shovels and tractors, to develop the groundwork. The BDR jawans again protested the BSF attempt and called for a flag meeting, but BSF did not respond to the meeting. Despite repeated request, BSF men continued their work violating the international border rules. Sources said at least 12 BDR men are performing their duties at the Monipur camp without any BDR high-ups. BSF men are exploiting the recent mutiny by BDR jawans that claimed at least 63 lives of army officers. Posted by: john frum 2009-03-02 |
