Officials said several hundred Indian workers began tea plantation at Majheepara border close to the Panchangarh-Tetulia highway in the morning. They were backed by the BSF of Nayabari outpost, who were seen digging bunkers on the zero line.

BDR Personnel raised objection and asked for a flag meeting. Paying no heed, the BSF men continued digging bunkers and mobilising troops and heavy artillery on the border. BDR took retaliatory measures.
