Border tension
Unresolved border issues that result in frequent fierce skirmishes cause casualties to the innocent people living near the borders. In recent days, many border incidents took place in various parts of Bangladeshi border with India. Asad Ali, a septuagenarian impoverished farmer, was wounded by the BSF when he was returning home after cultivating farmlands adjacent to the border. BSF fired targeting BDR personnel at Atgram under Zakigonj Upazila in Sylhet As a result, residents of at least 15 villages near Atgram, Biabail, Uttarkul and Amolshid frontier villages of the upazila were compelled to leave their houses and have yet to return to their respective homesteads. They fear that a skirmish might erupt at any moment as tension is prevailing between the two border security forces.
We, the common people, fail to understand why the BSF attacks us without any provocation.
