exchange of fire between Indian and Bangladeshi border

MALDA: A boy was killed and a jawan injured on Tuesday following an exchange of fire between BSF and Bangladesh Rifles at the Indo-Bangla border village of Gobindapur Akhra in South Dinajpur. The firing began around 9 am and continued for nearly three hours.

While patrolling in the morning, BSF jawans of Gobindapur border outpost found some goons carrying bags of fertilisers to the other side of the border. On being challenged, the goons started throwing bombs at the jawans. When the BSF jawans opened fire, BDR retaliated. The miscreants then took away a jawan, Omprakash Yadav, across the border to Bangladesh. Seeing that, kids, playing around, started shouting. In the firing that followed, 14-year-old Tinku Roy, an Indian, was shot in the shoulder and hospitalised.

Later, he succumbed to his injuries. BSF jawan Tarun Das was admitted to a hospital in Hili after being shot in the leg. Sources claimed more than 100 rounds were fired. A huge BSF force gathered at the border with the commandant of 28 Battalion along with deputy inspector-general P S Tomar of BSF's Malda range. BDR initially turned down BSF's request for a flag meeting. Although firing stopped, tension prevailed in the area.

B’desh dumps birds on border

Dead Poultry On No-Man’s Land Poses Renewed Threat Of Avian Flu Spread

Kounteya Sinha | TNN

New Delhi: Dead poultry, found lying in no-man’s land between West Bengal and Bangladesh, have now started to worry India.
A BSF team reported to the Centre on Wednesday that Bangladeshi citizens were seen dumping dead birds in no-man’s land.
Officials fear that the birds may have died of the deadly H5N1 bird flu infection. In such a case, India, which is presently fighting a severe bird flu outbreak in West Bengal, faces a renewed threat from the highly pathogenic virus, which can spread rapidly through wild birds and canines, who carry around such infected carcasses.
Not taking any chances, India, in an official communication, has asked Bangladesh to develop a mechanism jointly with India to decide how the dead birds, which are found lying in noman’s land, will be properly disposed off.
Speaking to TOI, an animal husbandry department official said: “We have received reports from a BSF vigil team that dead birds are being flung into no-man’s land from the Bangladeshi side. Such carcasses can prove dangerous for both countries who can’t risk fresh areas from being infected by the H5N1 virus.”
He added: “We, therefore, need a joint mechanism in place to ensure such dead birds are disposed off before they are carried around by wild birds, cats and dogs, who then become active carriers of the virus. This mechanism can act as a confidence building measure.”
While 29 districts in Bangladesh are reeling under the bird flu virus, 13 of the 19 districts in West Bengal have already confirmed an outbreak. The external affairs ministry has already asked the Bangladesh government to share the genetic history and information of the virus that has hit the neighbouring country.
Chickens from West Bengal culled in UP
Lucknow: In a shocking lapse on the part of authorities in both Railways and the West Bengal government, over 2,500 chickens were transported from the eastern state into UP on Monday, sending alarm bells ringing within Lucknow’s administrative machinery. Fortuitously, the UP officials decided to err on the side of caution and culled the chicken without even testing them for flu on Wednesday. TNN

sigh....Banglas being naughty again. Bangladesh Rifles is known to be a very corrupt unit and frequently helps smugglers circumvent Indian border controls.
Would love to get some arty, and next time they get uppity plaster their positions.

Better still, send back the millions of Bangladeshi refugees and do some massive fencing of the border to keep them out!

**Jay** · 03 Feb 08,, 18:16

Its tougher than sending in the illegal Mexican immigrants out of the US.

Tronic was referring to those illegal Bangladeshis who come to India for jobs and to take land.

To be honest with you, I don't have a thing against illegal immigrants as long as they obey the law of the land they are in and do not bring Sharia crap or vote bank politics. Free mobility and trade is essential to a healthy market.

Well I was born in New Delhi but immigrated legally (got a green card) to USA and have been living there ever since. Got naturalized back in 2002.

I know I am gonna get wingbats thrown at me but I really don't think that sending 12 million illegals in USA back to mexico is gonna work. It will end up hurting USA more. I mean, who is gonna know who's an illegal immigrant. The policies and actions necessary to find out which is one will end up costing us way more than we would like such as loss of liberties and ending up more like a police state. We would essentially lose free enterprise which is the cornerstone of USA's economic strength.
