Indian citizens prevent BSF from fencing border 

The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) could not install barbed wire fences along the border due to the obstruction of Indian citizens. 

Such an incident took place in the Shikarpur area of Nadia district of West Bengal. 

On Tuesday (January 21), the BSF faced obstacles from the villagers while erecting barbed wires in an area of about 1.3 kilometers from the area adjacent to the Shikarpur BDO office to the banks of the Mathabhanga river.

Risingbd.com has a video about it. In the video, it is known from the conversation of the villagers that at least 300 Hindu families live in the border. But during the month of Chaitra, water is not available at the tube wells there. As a result, the villagers collect water from the Mathabhanga river at zero point.

There is only one Shmashana, a Hindu crematory ground, for the people in the Shikarpur area of Nadia. That too is located at the zero point of the India-Bangladesh border.
