In a disturbing incident on Tuesday night, BSF personnel Surendra Singh Bhaduria sustained injuries during a patrol along the Indo-Bangladesh border in the Nath Para area of Amjadnagar in Belonia. Miscreants, suspected to be involved in smuggling activities launched a barrage of bricks and mortars at the vigilant jawan resulting in tensions flaring up along the border.
The injured BSF jawan was promptly rushed to Belonia Hospital for medical attention. The Border Security Force (BSF) has wasted no time in taking action providing detailed information about the incident to the Belonia police station.

This incident marks another instance of assailants attempting to target BSF personnel underscoring the need for enhanced security measures in the region.
The situation remains tense as security forces are on high alert and investigations are underway to apprehend those responsible for the assault. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in maintaining peace and order along the volatile Indo-Bangladesh border.
