The director general of Border Guard Bangladesh said at least 38 Bangladeshis were killed along the country’s frontier with India last year.
Major General Aziz Ahmed revealed the information at a press conference held at the Jessore headquarters of 26 BGB Battalion yesterday.
The border chief also said the BGB was constructing around 65 tin-shed buildings at Malopara in Abhaynagar, including two in Monirampur, where two women were recently raped.
The structures are expected to be completed by mid-March, he added.
