Thousands Of Bangladeshis Gather Along West Bengal Border, BSF Averts Infiltration Bid

Since August 5, the Petrapole border between India and Bangladesh has been under tight security with reduced movement of people and goods. The increased measures are in response to ongoing unrest in Bangladesh. Despite the overall decline in trade, the border has facilitated the entry of several Bangladeshis into India for medical treatment. The unrest has led to a near-total halt in trade, impacting traders significantly. Border Security Force (BSF) Director General DS Chaudhary has visited the site, and on Tuesday, some Bangladeshis and Indians stranded in each other's countries managed to return home. #TightSecurity #TradeDisruptions #PetrapoleBorder #BangladeshUnrest #INDIA-BANGLADESHBORDER ~ED.101~PR.152~
