Fishermen worried as BGB, BSF step up patrol in Padma
Suzon Ali . Rajshahi 06 October, 2024, 00:23
Fishermen in Charghat and Bagha upazilas in Rajshahi district have been passing their days in worry as the Board Guard Bangladesh and the Border Security Force of India stepped up patrol in the Padma River following the recent arrests of four fishermen from both sides.
On Wednesday, BSF personnel picked up two Bangladeshi fishermen – Manik Uddin Sheikh, 35, and Mofazzal Hossain Sheikh, 40, of Chak Muktarpur village under Charghat upazila – while they were fishing in the Padma River at a location near Rajshahi Cadet College.
In the official Twitter handle of the South Bengal frontier, BSF claimed that they had arrested the two Bangladesh nationals for fishing illegally approximately one kilometer inside Indian territory in the Padma.
According to BGB officials and Indian media reports, the two Bangladesh nationals were handed over to Sagarpara police station of West Bengal’s Murshidabad district and sent to jail for entering India illegally.
On the same day, the members of BGB detained two Indian nationals– Aynul Haque, 55, son of Abdur Rahim, and Shoaib Nabi Sheikh, 40, son of German Ali of Lalkup village under Sagarpara police station – from the Padma River in the afternoon for entering Bangladesh territory illegally.
The Indian nationalists were then handed over to Charghat police and sent to jail on the following day.
Following the incidents, BSF and BGB stepped up patrol in the Padma River.
As a result, the fishermen in Charghat and Bagha upazilas were avoiding to go to the Padma River in fear of arrest by BSF personnel.
Fishermen and people living on the bank of the Padma River alleged that BSF personnel were entering Bangladesh territory randomly crossing the Bangladeh-India bordering line.
Fisherman Sahabuddin Sabu of the Gopalpur area under Charghat upazila in Rajshahi said that most of the fishermen were illiterate and did not have a proper understanding over the international boundary line.
‘The Padma River is now in full bloom. It is nearly impossible to determine the boundary lines in the river, especially when fishing at night. BSF has been aggressively patrolling using speed boats after the arrest of two Indian fishermen. Because of fear, none of the Bangladeshi fishermen are going to the river,’ he said.
Habibur Rahman, president of a local fishermen’s association, said that Indian fishermen often entered Bangladesh territory and caught fish in the Padma.
‘But we are now afraid of the BSF even in our own territory. The situation has become more complicated following the arrest of two Indian nationals. I don’t know how and when this situation will become normal. But if such a situation continues, most of the fishermen will not go to the river as BSF personnel do not hesitate to open fire,’ he said.
Fish trader Bahadur Ali said that an average of 400 kilograms of fish, caught from the river, was sold every day in his depot. ‘As the fishermen have stopped fishing in the Padma, I do not have any alternative to shut my depot,’ he added.
Former municipal councilor Md Khodabox Ali alleged that BSF picked up two Bangladeshi fishermen inside the Bangladesh territory of the Padma in violation of international border law.
‘BGB is asking everyone to be careful while fishing in the river. How will the fishermen be careful if BSF personnel pick them up inside Bangladesh territory?’ he said, adding that none of the fishermen were going to the middle of the river.
‘A few fishermen are now fishing along the bank of the river,’ he said.
BGB-1 Battalion commander lieutenant colonel Motiul Islam Mondal, however, said that Bangladeshi fishermen should not be worried. ‘We have, however, urged them to catch fish carefully so that they do not enter Indian territory by crossing the borderline,’ he added.

The interim government has formally requested India to stop recurrence of killings along the border, investigate all the previous cases, and punish the responsible ones.
The foreign ministry made the request in an official letter that it lodged at the Indian high commission in Dhaka on Wednesday, to protest the recent killing of a Bangladeshi citizen along the Cumilla border.
In a press release in the evening, the ministry said a Bangladeshi citizen – Kamal Hossain from Cumilla – was gunned down by the Indian border security force (BSF) on 7 October. The Bangladesh government extended its protest to the Indian government regarding the death.
Kamal Hossain was shot by the BSF along the Paharpur border of Golyara Dakshin union in Cumilla Sadar Dakshin upazila.
In its letter, the foreign ministry expressed its concerns over the repeated incidents of killing by the BSF, despite continuous assurances from Indian authorities to reduce border killings to zero.
The Bangladesh government emphasised that such incidents are undesirable, unwarranted, and a violation of the Bangladesh-India joint guidelines-1975. Hence, it urged the Indian government to stop recurrence of such abominable activities, launch investigations into all border killings, and bring the responsible ones to justice.

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) thwarted yet another attempt by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) to construct a barbed wire fence along the Panchbibi border in Joypurhat.
The incident occurred early Saturday around 5:30 am in the Sonatala border area under the jurisdiction of the Hatkhola BOP camp.
Lt Col Mohammad Nahid Newaz, commander of Joypurhat-20 BGB Battalion, confirmed the matter.
International law prohibits any construction within 150 yards of the border. Despite this, BSF personnel began erecting a temporary barbed wire fence using bamboo poles approximately 20 yards inside Indian territory, near the third and fourth sub-pillars of main pillar 280, according to BGB sources and local residents.
Local residents alerted the BGB patrol team, who arrived at the scene to intervene. The BGB's action forced the BSF to halt their construction efforts, ensuring the integrity of the border remained intact.
In a related development, a flag meeting was held on Saturday evening between the BGB and the BSF. Under the leadership of Naik Subedar Naeemul Islam, company commander of Koya BOP, and AC Ankur, company commander of the 137 Battalion BSF, both sides discussed the ongoing issue of border construction.
The BSF commander assured the BGB that there would be no further attempts to construct the barbed wire fence outside areas allowed under international law.
On October 17, BSF members had made two attempts to build a barbed wire fence using iron poles in the same area, but their efforts were similarly obstructed by BGB personnel. Following those incidents, a protest letter was sent by Joypurhat Battalion-20 BGB to the commander of the 137 Battalion BSF.

BGB, BSF DG-level talks postponed
The director general-level border talks between Bangladesh and India, initially set for next month in New Delhi, have been postponed.
Speaking to this newspaper yesterday, BGB Deputy Director General (Media) Colonel Mohammad Shariful Islam said with approval from the home ministry, the BGB requested the BSF to delay the meeting by a month, as BGB officials are currently deployed across the country due to the present situation.
The 55th meeting between the DGs of the border forces of the two countries was planned to be held in New Delhi from November 18 to 22, marking the first such meeting since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government on August 5.
Indian news agency PTI reported that the meeting has been postponed due to adjustments in Bangladesh's plans.
BGB and BSF chiefs hold these meetings twice a year. PTI, citing sources, mentioned that efforts are underway to schedule a new date for the meeting soon.
The last meeting took place in Dhaka in March.

The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has returned the body of a businessman who was killed along the Dhobaura border in Mymensingh on October 24.
Lt Col ASM Kamruzzaman, commander of 31 Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) battalion, confirmed the matter on Saturday.
The deceased, Rezaul Karim, was a medicine trader from Sherpur. He died while attempting to cross the border at the Dhobaura frontier on October 24, UNB reports.
Bachchu, officer-in-charge of Durgapur Police Station, received the body in the presence of BGB members at the Bagmara Land Checkpoint in Netrokona District on Saturday afternoon. An initial examination revealed no signs of gunshot wounds on the body, according to the BGB official.
Rezaul hailed from Alinapara village in Sherpur Sadar upazila. He owned a pharmacy on Hospital Road in the Narayanpur area of Sherpur.
On the evening of October 24, Rezaul was reportedly killed near pillar 1139/9 in the Indian Territory, close to the BGB camp in the Munshipara area of South Maizpara Union in Mymensingh’s Dhobaura upazila. Following the incident, the BSF took his body to the Dhamdam camp.
Local residents heard gunfire from the BSF shortly after Rezaul entered India to procure medicines at a lower cost, leading them to believe that he was shot by the BSF.
However, on Saturday morning, the BSF informed the 31 BGB battalion in Netrokona that seven individuals encountered challenges from the BSF while trying to cross into India. Six managed to escape, but Rezaul fell off a culvert, suffered a head injury, and became unconscious, subsequently drowning in the water.
BSF personnel rescued him and took him to a local primary treatment centre, where he was declared dead.
OC Bachchu noted that a case is underway to be filed at the police station.

A youth from Feni’s Parshuram upazila was reportedly detained and tortured by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) along the border on Wednesday.
The victim, Mohammad Yasin, 20, sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment under police custody at a hospital in India’s Tripura, said Lt Col. Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, commander of the BGB’s Feni Battalion, UNB reports.
“Yasin received initial treatment in Bilonia and was later taken to Tripura’s Shantirhat Hospital for advanced care. Indian police have detained him on charges of trespassing. The police are taking action against him according to the laws of their country,” he said.
Nurul Islam, assistant commander of BGB 4 Battalion, said they learned about the matter through various sources. “After verifying the facts, they will provide further information and establish contact with the Indian BSF.”
Yasin, a battery-run auto-rickshaw driver and son of Mizan Mia from Baurkhuma village in the upazila, was allegedly detained while approaching the border around 5:30 am on Wednesday.
Locals said BSF personnel severely beat him, causing serious head injuries, before handing him over to Bilonia police.
Yasin’s mother, Rahela Akter, accused the BSF of torturing her son and appealed to Bangladesh authorities, including Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), to bring him back.
Feni Deputy Commissioner Saiful Islam, in a press release, said that Yasin was detained by Indian authorities while allegedly attempting to cross the border illegally. He was then handed over to Indian authorities, he added.
