A woman has been stranded in the no-man's-land of the border for four days following an attempted push-in by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India, which was thwarted by the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) at the Patharer Char border in Jamalpur's Dewanganj upazila. Since Tuesday morning, she has been spending her days in exhausted condition under the open sky on straw and a blanket.
Locals suspect the woman might be mentally ill and her identity could not be confirmed. Although the BSF denied she is their citizen, BGB has video footage of the push-in attempt. Local residents have demanded a quick resolution to this standoff through a flag meeting.
Jamalpur 35 BGB Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Hasanur Rahman stated that the woman remained in no-man's-land after the BGB prevented the push-in, and the force is on high alert to resist any illegal infiltration.
