The recent fire exchange between Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Myanmar Border Police (BGP) in Naikkhyangchari border in Bandarban was a misunderstanding, State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said.
The minister has made the observation while talking to journalists at the home ministry on Sunday.
We called the Myanmar envoy in Dhaka for their army deployment in Myanmar-Bangladesh border, he said.
However, he also expressed hope that the border issue with Myanmar will be solved soon.
“The tension between two forces has been dismantled and an adequate measure has also been taken to avert any untoward situation in the border area with Myanmar.”
The minister has also urged people adjacent to the border areas not to get panicked.
Nayek Md Mizanur Rahman of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has been shot dead following 'an indiscriminate firing by the Myanmar Border Police.'
The BGB men were patrolling along the Bangladesh-Myanmar international border with the team when he went missing amid random firing.
After three days, Myanmar border police handed over the body of Mizanur to BGB on Saturday.
