NEWS DESK

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Thursday strongly condemned and protested a social media rumour claiming that India has occupied 62 kilometres of territory in Lalmonirhat.

In an official statement, BGB said a vested quarter is deliberately spreading the baseless and anti-state claim titled ‘India occupies 62 kilometres in Lalmonirhat’ with the intention of misleading the public and tarnishing the country’s image.

The statement described the dissemination of such fabricated information as an attempt to create confusion among citizens.

It reaffirmed that every inch of Bangladesh’s sovereign territory remains under the full control of BGB.

BGB also emphasised that its personnel remain vigilant and committed to protecting the country’s borders with the highest level of professionalism and patriotism.

The border force urged the public not to share or comment on unverified information on social media and to remain cautious against those engaged in spreading false propaganda.
