The border forces of the two neighbours conducted a patrol in the river on Tuesday from 11am to 5pm. Speaking to the Dhaka Tribune, BGB 2 Commanding Officer Lt Col Asaduzzaman Choudhury said: “BGB and BGP have started patrolling the waterway between Bangladesh and Myanmar to prevent any possible untoward situations on the border centring on the ongoing Rohingya crisis. Thirteen BGB members and 16 BGP members conducted their first patrol on Tuesday. “Patrols in the river will be conducted on an intermittent basis, and a schedule has been sent to the BGB in this regard.” On March 1, tensions between the two countries reached a boiling point as the Myanmar authorities in a sudden move heightened their military presence close to the no man’s land between Bangladesh’s Konarpara and Myanmar’s Tambru, sparking fears among the Rohingya people stranded there
