However, even before the BGB DG’s visit, heavy gunfire was heard across the Teknaf-Tumbru border.

Pointing out that the security has been strengthened at the border of Myanmar to prevent the infiltration of Rohingyas, the director general of BGB said, “We have increased the vigilance at the border to prevent infiltration.” We are in constant touch with Myanmar’s BGP. Even if there is a shot at the border, we send letters of protest.
