A senior BSF official has said that following their inputs to Bangladesh, the country has now started flushing out militants in the north-east region of their country.
We have been informed of operations taking place in Bangladesh to flush out militants from their makeshift camps which the BSF had from time to time shared with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

The BSF came to know about this during a Border Coordination meeting with BGB which concluded in Shillong on Thursday. During the conference, the BSF handed over a list of 39 camps of various outfits to the BGB. The BSF also sought their cooperation in raiding the camps and arresting the militants, the official said.
The BSF also raised the issue of violation of border by Bangladesh nationals and committing crimes like theft, dacoity, kidnapping and poaching. The BGB, on the other hand, talked about killing of Bangladeshis at the border by the residents in the border areas. But the BGB also requested logistical support and access to Indian roads to maintain and construct border outposts at hilly and remote areas in Bangladesh, the official said.
