DHAKA (APP) Border forces of Bangladesh and India traded heavy gunfire at Jaintapur border in eastern Sylhet district when Indian nationals backed by Border Security Force (BSF) trespassed for fishing on Sunday afternoon. Thousands of Bangladeshi villagers fleeing from the border areas for fear of life said gunfire started at about 3pm continued till 6pm. It was the fourth time in a month that the border skirmishes took place as Khasia tribe on the other side of border in Meghalaya State deliberately crossed the border for fishing in Dibir Haor. BSF on February 4 intruded in the area and kidnapped a Nayek of Bangladeshs border guard BDR (Bangladesh Rifles). He was, however, set free at a flag meeting, with BSF regretting their action of illegal crossing of the border. BDR said Indian nationals backed by BSF crossed the border for fishing in Dibir Haor. On resistance by the fishermen, BSF opened fire. BDR returned the fire and the gunrunning continued for about three hours until 6pm.
