Director of Bangladesh's paramilitary force Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Major General (Maj Gen) Md Shafeenul Islam on Saturday (4 January) announced the return of over 445 Bangladeshi nationals from India in the past two months alone, reports Financial Express.
Maj Gen Islam held a press briefing yesterday in which he disclosed the figure while also sharing that the BGB had in all of 2019 arrested about 1,000 Bangladeshi citizens trying to cross the international border and enter India.
Maj Gen Islam who had said last week that to hold an NRC exercise was India's internal matter also underscored that the trespassing by Bangladeshi nationals had not led to any tension between the border forces of the two nations.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
