A couple and their two children remain stranded at the India-Bangladesh border in Kurigram’s Roumari upazila, having been allegedly pushed back by India’s Border Security Force (BSF). For 48 hours, Sumi Akter and Belal Hossain have been stuck in no-man’s land, exposed to the elements. Neither Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) nor BSF have reached a resolution regarding their status, leaving the family in a precarious situation. The couple are reportedly unable to enter either country. As of midday on Tuesday, June 16th, their fate remains unresolved, with no clear indication of when or how the impasse will be broken. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and difficulties faced by individuals living in border regions. Authorities are currently negotiating a solution.
