When Bangladeshis do that then we have full right to shoot them.

You already have a disturbing track record of shooting women and children. Not just smugglers. Yet we are sensible enough to not use lethal forces when it is not neccessary. BGB mostly apprehend and rarely use direct fires.

How often does this kind of border crossing occur ? Seems like it's really difficult to tell where the borders are.

Building roads could be a way to mark the borders or something like a road at more difficult accessible places.

It happens often but now it's happening even more since there’s no BAL/authority subservient to India. Now they are more aggressive.

There are border pillers and India put fences, roads in their parts. We started building roads on Myanmar borders few years ago.

We already build a fence that is a simple don't cross sign that people should respect.

This is their headache too?

India today (27 June) banned imports of certain jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh through any land port on the border, reports Times of India.

The restricted items include jute products, flax tow and waste, jute and other bast fibres, single and multiple jute yarns, woven fabrics of flax, and unbleached woven fabrics of jute.

However, import of such goods will be allowed only through Nhava Sheva seaport in Maharashtra, India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.

The DGFT also clarified that these restrictions will not apply to Bangladeshi goods transiting through India to Nepal and Bhutan. However, re-exports of these products from Bangladesh to India via Nepal and Bhutan will not be allowed.

This move marks the third such curtailment by India in recent months, according to Times of India. On 17 May, India imposed similar port restrictions on imports from Bangladesh, including ready-made garments and processed food items.

On 9 April, the Indian government withdrew transshipment facilities previously extended to Bangladesh for exports to the Middle East and Europe, with exceptions made only for Nepal and Bhutan.

Earlier, on 28 March, Bangladesh halted the import of yarns through land ports, following longstanding demands from local textile mill owners.

Bilateral trade between India and Bangladesh stood at $12.9 billion in the fiscal year 2023-24, with India's exports at $11.46 billion and imports at $2 billion, according to Times of India.
