A brief clash erupted on Saturday morning near the Sukdevpur border outpost on the India-Bangladesh border after Indian farmers accused Bangladeshi farmers of stealing crops. Prompt action by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) brought the situation under control.

The altercation began as a verbal dispute and quickly escalated, with farmers from both sides gathering in large numbers and resorting to stone-pelting. The incident occurred at 11:45 am in a region recently marked by disputes over border fencing.

BSF and BGB forces intervened swiftly, dispersing the farmers and restoring calm. No injuries were reported, and farmers from both sides were sent back to their respective territories.

"The situation has been completely normalised, and necessary measures are in place to prevent future disputes," stated a BSF spokesperson. Indian farmers were urged to report border grievances to BSF personnel instead of taking matters into their own hands.

The incident followed a sector commander-level meeting earlier this week in Benapole, Bangladesh, aimed at addressing bilateral concerns and enhancing coordination. Efforts to resolve tensions between the two countries remain ongoing.

By late afternoon, some Bangladeshi nationals were reportedly seen near the border, but BGB personnel effectively prevented further escalation. Both forces have reinforced their commitment to maintaining peace and addressing disputes collaboratively.
