Bangladeshi farmers get back 40-bigha land along border with India
Bangladeshi peasants have regained the possession of 40 bighas of land in the frontier between Meherpur and Nadia in West Bengal, said a BDR press release, reports UNB.
It said the land between border pillars 126 and 127 at Rudranagar has been under the possession of Bangladeshi nationals since independence.
But a recent move by Indian nationals with the help of BSF men to capture the land led to a squabble between nationals of the two countries.
The Bangladeshi farmers got back the right to cultivate the land as per the decision of a BDR-BSF meting held on January 9, the press release said yesterday.
