Bangladesh should ask the UN to declare BSF a terrorist organization and impose strictest sanction upon them.

Amid growing anti-India sentiment, a road adjoining the Indian High Commission in Dhaka has been named 'Shaheed Felani Road' by a citizens group initiative in protest of 'border killings' - the killing of Bangladeshi citizens by India's Border Security Force in the frontier regions.
An organization named People's Activist Coalition (PAC) installed a nameplate denoting as much on the road, ignoring police's attempts to obstruct them, on Friday afternoon.
Some people started gathering on the road in front of the Indian High Commission around 4 pm.
Police and army personnel took position on that road and stopped the movement of people and vehicles.
Around 4:30 pm, when the leaders and workers of the PAC went to install the nameplates, the police stopped them.
They were heard chanting slogans like 'Delhi na Dhaka/ Dhaka Dhaka'.
At one stage, a nameplate was installed on the road saying "Shaheed Felani Road."
Felani, a minor Bangladeshi girl, worked as a domestic help in New Delhi. She was returning home with her father through Anantapur border in Kurigram district on January 7, 2011, when members of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shot her dead. Her body was handed over to Bangladesh a day later.
Bangladesh recently strongly protested two border killings in the space of eight days by BSF.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh lodged the first formal protest to the Government of India on the killing of a 13-year-old Bangladeshi girl, Shwarna Das of Juri upazila of Moulvibazar district, who was shot and killed by Border Security Force (BSF) of India on September 1.
In the protest note sent to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh strongly protested and condemned such ruthless acts and expressed deep concern over the incidents.
The government of Bangladesh reminded that such incidents of border killing are undesirable and unwarranted and such actions are in violation of the provisions of the Joint Indo-Bangladesh Guidelines for Border Authorities, 1975.
The government of Bangladesh called upon the government of India to stop repetition of such heinous acts and conduct enquiries into all border killings, identify the responsible persons and bring them to justice.

Bangladesh set to regain 200 acres of land from India

Bangladesh is set to regain around 200 acres of land previously lost to India due to the erosion of the River Padma along the Daulatpur border in Kushtia.
A joint decision to resurvey the disputed land and return it to the rightful owners was reached in a meeting held between senior officials of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Indiaโs Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday.
The land in question, located in the Challishpara area of Ramkrishnapur union in Daulatpur upazila, has been under dispute due to shifts in the Padma Riverโs course and natural disasters, which disorganised international boundary pillars over a stretch of three kilometres. The problem was first identified in a survey conducted earlier this year.
Lieutenant Colonel M Mahbub Murshed Rahman, Commander of BGBโs 47th Battalion, confirmed the matter. 'It has been agreed to conduct a resurvey of the disputed land and return it to the rightful owners.'
During the survey on February 10, it was revealed that about 200 acres of Bangladeshi land had ended up inside Indian territory, and approximately 40 acres of Indian land in Bangladesh territory. Both countries are now preparing to officially correct the boundaries in October.
Sundayโs meeting, held at the border pillar 152/7-S of Jamalpur Border Outpost in Mahishkundi, Daulatpur, also addressed broader issues such as preventing border killings and tackling drug trafficking. The Bangladeshi delegation was led by Lt. Col Rahman, while Commandant Vikram Dev Singh of the Rowshanbagh Battalion represented BSF.
Lt Col Rahman emphasized that until the resurvey is complete, no one will be allowed to utilize the disputed land. He also conveyed Bangladeshโs strong protest against recent border killings, urging BSF to refrain from detaining innocent citizens and prevent illegal cross-border activities, particularly in the lead-up to the Durga Puja.

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 โ Manik Uddin Sheikh, 35, and Mofazzal Hossain Sheikh, 40, of Chak Muktarpur village under Charghat upazila โ 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 Bengalโs Murshidabad district and sent to jail for entering India illegally.
On the same day, the members of BGB detained two Indian nationalsโ Aynul Haque, 55, son of Abdur Rahim, and Shoaib Nabi Sheikh, 40, son of German Ali of Lalkup village under Sagarpara police station โ 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.
โThe 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,โ he said.
Habibur Rahman, president of a local fishermenโs association, said that Indian fishermen often entered Bangladesh territory and caught fish in the Padma.
โBut 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 donโt 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,โ 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. โAs the fishermen have stopped fishing in the Padma, I do not have any alternative to shut my depot,โ 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.
โBGB 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?โ he said, adding that none of the fishermen were going to the middle of the river.
โA few fishermen are now fishing along the bank of the river,โ he said.
BGB-1 Battalion commander lieutenant colonel Motiul Islam Mondal, however, said that Bangladeshi fishermen should not be worried. โWe have, however, urged them to catch fish carefully so that they do not enter Indian territory by crossing the borderline,โ he added.
