To strengthen border security and curb illegal crossings and drug smuggling, a new Border Outpost (BOP) of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has been established at Borobari border area in Panchagarh’s Haribhanga.
The newly constructed BOP was inaugurated on Saturday afternoon by Brigadier General SM Zahidur Rahman, Commander of the Northwest Region (Rangpur) of BGB. Prior to the inauguration, the commander received a guard of honour, hoisted the national flag, unveiled the name plaque, and planted an orange sapling within the outpost premises while offering prayers for national peace and prosperity.
Panchagarh, which shares a 282 km border with India, has long been a hotspot for cross-border crimes, including drug trafficking and illegal intrusions (push-ins). The district is guarded by three BGB battalions: Nilphamari-56, Thakurgaon-50, and Panchagarh-18. Among these, Borobari and Ghagra border areas are under Nilphamari-56 Battalion. While Ghagra already had a BOP, Borobari remained unguarded despite being a critical location frequently affected by incidents such as BSF firing, drug smuggling, and Indian nationals being pushed into Bangladesh.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Sector Commander of Thakurgaon Golam Rabbani, Commander of Nilphamari-56 BGB Battalion Lt. Col. Sheikh Mohammad Badruddoza, and other senior BGB officials and members.
Local resident Jarina Begum expressed relief and optimism, saying, “With this new BGB camp, incidents of illegal crossing, drug trafficking, and push-ins from India are likely to decrease.”
In the inaugural speech, Brigadier General SM Zahidur Rahman emphasized that the BOP will play a vital role in preventing drug and arms smuggling, illegal crossings, and all kinds of border crimes, and he instructed BGB personnel to carry out their duties with professionalism and integrity.
