MYANMAR ARMY TAKES POSITION ALONG BORDER AGAIN
After a three-day interval,
Myanmar Army again took position along Tambru border in Naikkhonchhari upazila
of Bandarban district today, creating panic among the Rohingyas who have taken
shelter on no man's land.
Confirming the
incident, Lt Col Manjurul Hasan of Border Guard Bangladesh 34 Battalion said,
"The situation along the Tambru border point is now calm and the BGB
members, deployed in the border area, are on alert. There's nothing to be
panicked and the BGB is ready to tackle any situation."
AKM Jahangir Aziz,
chairman of Ghumdhum union, said members of Myanmar's Border Guard Police (BGP)
were seen patrolling the area since Monday morning.
On Saturday, Myanmar
removed its Army from the Tambru border following a flag meeting with BGB on
Friday.
Myanmar Army took
position with heavy troops and artillery along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border
from Thursday morning.
A good number of
Rohingyas gathered near the zero point of the border in the last one month
where the members of BGP along with Myanmar Army were seen conducting various
activities like installing barbed-wire fences and setting up advance
technological surveillance equipment.
